Occupational Therapy Student Testimonials — USAHS
[00:00:00] Speaker: Not only is St. Augustine like an awesome place to go to school, but also all the friends and faculty I’ve met along the way have made it so much more than earning a degree. [00:00:08] I really like the small class sizes. [00:00:10] We tend to work together no matter what cohort you’re in. [00:00:13] It’s really hands-on and it gives you the full scope of practice. [00:00:16] One of my favorite things we have here is our CICP simulation lab. It’s a simulation lab where you get to work with patients who are actors who will be acting out with various disabilities and diseases. [00:00:27] I recommend USA OT because the teachers. They come in there with an enthusiastic attitude and they respect us, and they, kind of feels like they’re making us their peers. [00:00:36] The family feel. The faculty really is supportive. [00:00:38] The faculty care so much about your development. [00:00:42] The teachers and the faculty, they truly care about the students. [00:00:47] This school has shown a genuine interest in my learning, and I’ve had so many different types of support that I don’t, I’m not sure that I would get at another institution. [00:00:57] I don’t think I would have excelled in my fieldwork if it wasn’t for the faculty. [00:01:01] It’s gonna make a world of difference if you have that support. [00:01:03] This school has a lot of opportunities and a lot of resources for students and it’s been a great learning experience for me while I’ve been here.
