The professors I worked with did an amazing job of drawing from their research, their training, their roles as supervisors, and their own clinical work to present a well-rounded experience overall. Different faculty members presented unique strengths from their wheelhouse—and the sum was indeed greater than the parts: I learned tremendously from such generous, experienced, and caring teachers.

The relationships you build with faculty and your cohort are lasting, and the opportunities for research, collaboration, and professional development really set you up for long-term success in the field."
