This week, I was very excited to have the two people who inspired me to start my podcast featured on the episode! I’m joined by the Sarah F and Gabby M from “GRADitude: The Grad School Guide for Student Physical Therapists”. We discuss the origin of their own podcast journey, their ventures in business, and some of the valuable things they’ve learned through balancing all this during their time in PT school.

In this episode, I talk to one of my good friends Jay M and we discuss his journey to becoming a Doctor of Occupational Therapy. Jay talks about how he overcame some of his initial struggles when applying for grad school such as: being undecided in the beginning of college, having a low-GPA, and more. He provides some really insightful and motivational pieces of advice that any potential grad school student would find useful.

After completing grad school, there are plenty of opportunities within the field of physical therapy. Some of these opportunities come in the form of continued mentorship while working and some even involve becoming a mentor yourself. One of my previous mentors and role-models Kaitlin M talks about her journey as an outpatient clinician and how she worked hard to earn the role of facility manager. She talks about how she continues to grow and improve her practice to this day, as well as what her plans are for the future.

Doing well in a clinical rotation can be a stressful and daunting experience. My friend Jane from the University of St. Augustine in California is a third-year student who is nearly done with her final clinical before graduating. She talks about her clinical experiences throughout school and she highlights what she’s learned and tips for students on their future clinicals.

Choosing a PT school is a big decision and it’s important to consider out-of-state options when choosing what’s right for you. My classmate Marissa discusses what it was like to move to a different state to attend graduate school and tips for those considering doing the same thing.

I’m joined by my classmate Shar to discuss our first clinical in PT school that took place last summer. Initially, we both did not have a clinical placement but our clinical director was able to get us a clinical at a later time. We talk about our experience, the numerous things we learned, and how we each grew as future clinicians. We also provide PT students with a few useful tips before entering any clinical rotation.
