Dr. Walters’ Words of Wisdom
You’re always learning“We don’t all know what we think we know”Lots of experience (if he hadn’t of had all of his experience, he said he would not be where he is today. He didn’t have the best GPA in the world, letters of Rec., a lot of volunteering)There are PTs that focus on getting patients in and out and there are those who spend times and work the patientsBusiness mills vs. Personal CareSlide13
Ms. Quiros
’ Words of WisdomMake sure you observe different places before you decide where you want to workDon’t get discouraged by the amount of hours you have to put in during graduate schoolSlide14
