Fukuji & Lum Physical Therapy has been a Co-op (Cooperative Education) partner with Northeastern University since 1998. We are dedicated and committed to providing students with the education and experience they need to work in the field of physical therapy.
Each year we accept outstanding NEU physical therapy students as full-time employees and give them the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in an outpatient orthopedic clinical setting. These students will primarily assist our highly qualified physical therapists with outpatient care at our clinic locations in Honolulu and Windward Oahu, including the outdoor heated pool in beautiful Kaneohe.
The journey to Hawaii will offer students tremendous life-changing experiences as they strive to balance work, play and new discoveries during their 6 month Co-op with the Fukuji & Lum OHANA (family). Besides being formally educated with the knowledge of what it takes to become a physical therapist, each student will leave with the "Aloha Spirit" enriched by great memories and an awesome tan!

"Doing a Co-op in Hawaii and working at Fukuji and Lum was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Everyone working there was extremely friendly and helpful, and always tried to make my experience there the best it could be.
I would highly recommend it to anyone. If you are worried about being so far away from home - don't! They made me feel right at home and I wasn't ready to leave when it was over.
The clinic was great, I learned a lot, and of course the island was incredible. I can't say enough good things about it!"
