Hello everyone,
I was dismissed from my DPT program because of my mental health issues (Social Anxiety stemming from a birth defect). I tried to juggle bettering my mental health issues at the same time of being a DPT student, but I bit off more than I could chew and was dismissed from my program. I am taking a break to focus on my mental health issues and get to the point where my SA is managed and I learn to accept my appearance.
Once I feel like I am ready, I want to reapply for DPT programs again but I am scared that my history of being dismissed from a program will make me an unwanted or quickly rejected applicant.
For those who were dismissed or knew someone who was dismissed, were you able to get into another program? If so, please share your experiences so that people like me can still fight for their dream of becoming a PT.
