Student Testimonial

"Picking the MSAT program at GV was simply convenient for me to continue on with the same institution as my undergraduate. The program prepared me with real scenarios of different situations or conversations I would have in the profession. Although challenging, it built my confidence and prepared me for those challenging times as a young professional. One of the most impactful learning experiences was the ability to repeatedly provide rationale for decision making. This has made my confidence with decisions regarding rehabilitation plans, diagnosis, emergency situations, and even parent conversations easier because there is always a rationale for the care." - McKenna Davidson
