Read Why Students Chose Occupational Therapy: Testimonials

"I originally wanted to go into medical school. I feel like a lot of people have this view, but something along the line told me I wanted to build relationships— longer relationships— and relationships that were more in-depth so I could get to know the person. They could leave a lasting impression on me, and I could do the same for them. I just wanted a practice that would give me more time with the people that I serve. I feel like we work on that holistic aspect of someone's life, and we work on it through the things that they engage with every day, and not just looking specifically at different functions of the body, but we're looking at how they interact with their environment." -Pranathi Meda, GW OTD Student
