“My experience as a graduate student at USF has been incredibly rewarding and life changing. I remember feeling overwhelmed during my first semester, constantly wondering, “Am I really cut out for this?” But through the support and encouragement of my professors and peers, I learned that growth happens when you push through the moments that challenge you most".

"So grateful for the opportunity to further my education at USF. This program shaped me into the clinician I've always aspired to become and challenged me in ways that helped me grow both personally and professionally. ”
