What is the primary difference between a student and an intern in PT?

Interns are not paid
Students are in academic training while interns have completed coursework
Only interns can treat patients
Students require more supervision

The correct answer is: Students are in academic training while interns have completed coursework

This option is correct because it clearly identifies the main difference between a student and an intern in PT. While both are still learning and gaining practical experience, students are typically still in the process of completing academic coursework while interns have already completed this training. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the primary difference between a student and an intern. While interns may not be paid and students may require more supervision, these are not the defining factors that differentiate between the two roles. Additionally, while interns may have the opportunity to treat patients, this is not the sole responsibility of an intern and students may also have this opportunity under proper supervision.
