Hey -- Question for practicing clinicians, not sure if there were other posts similar..
I am graduating in May with my DPT and was hoping anyone could offer some advice on some of the things we don't necessarily learn in school/on clinical... things like how to begin assimilating into the workforce, applying for jobs, balancing job and home life, gaining confidence, or the types of continuing education you found most helpful early on.
I have thought about residencies but I am still so unsure about where I would like to practice that I do not want to specialize right away. I am leaning toward acute rehab, however.
For the past 3 years I have been so eager to get out and start working, but now those 4 walls, sweatpants, and study groups are such fond, comforting memories.
Anybody else feel the same way when they graduated?
