#DPTSTUDENT CHAT TOPIC FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2014: TIME MANAGEMENT AND STUDY TIPS

Congratulations!

You’ve been accepted to physical therapy school and are ready to embark on a great adventure. Or perhaps you have finished your first (or second) year and are looking to fine-tune your approach for the remainder of your time as a #DPTstudent. Whatever the case may be, this Wednesday we are looking for incoming, current and former students to share their study tips and time management strategies that have helped them achieve success.

See you there!

#DPTSTUDENT CHAT TOPIC FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 2014: PAYING FOR A DPT DEGREE

As the next class of DPT students enter schools around the country, they are likely facing the highest tuition costs yet, while possible changes to forgiveness programs are on the horizon. Is the DPT degree still worth it? We certainly think so, but financial responsibility is still a huge concern. What can students do to minimize the cost of their DPT degree well before they graduate? What loan repayment options are out there? Will PSLF still be an option? Are there still clinics offering loan repayment assistance or is competition for jobs making these benefits more scarce? We will pose these questions (and more!) on Wednesday, May 14th at 9 PM EST. Join in the discussion!

#DPTSTUDENT CHAT TOPIC FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2014: WHAT I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN I STARTED PT SCHOOL

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!
