It’s that time of year when students are graduating, new third years are entering full time clinicals and all of us are reflecting on how quickly school has passed. Every incoming #DPTstudent is eager to learn from others’ hindsight. What do you wish you would have known when you started PT school? What could you have done to learn more efficiently, to save more money and to make better use of your three years? And what did you do right? Do you have any other advice to share with every first year and incoming #DPTstudent? Join in on Wednesday at 9 PM EST to share!

This may sound dumb, but don’t learn stuff like you did for undergrad. This isn’t material that you can learn, take the test, throw away and never worry about again. You want to learn this info with the intent of keeping it for at least a few years (until you take your board). So hit it hard, commit it to long term memory, review, review, review, and try to see the big picture with everything.
Looking forward to this week’s chat! This is my advice for getting through first semester: http://pt2b15.tumblr.com/post/39979055042/how-to-survive-first
