Opening and Closing Duties

Opening Duties Checklist

  • Place a doorstop in the door if the doors are still locked.
  • Turn on student desk lights.
  • Make sure the space looks organized from the day prior.

  • The bin with daily folders can typically be found in the 4th overhead cabinets if not already out on Desk 1.
  • If the folders are not pulled for the day, please help pull charts. 000 are the cabinet codes; student folders are in the left cabinet and outside clients (including UVA faculty and staff) are in the right cabinets.
  • Prep your exercise programs before your clients arrive. You are encouraged to ask fellow interns for advice on program design before going to your supervisor; the supervisor checks the final program.
  • If you are with a shadowing or training intern, engage them in the process as much as possible given their stage of training.

  • Return all client folders to their respective boxes with name tabs facing the correct direction.
  • Return stools under the desk.
  • Remove your food from the fridge.
  • Lower the standing desks to match height.
