"I chose Drake's OTD program because of the strong sense of community and the program's focus on holistic, client-centered care. I love that students get hands-on experience early on and learn how to apply evidence-based practice to real life situations. The program also emphasizes advocacy and leadership, which are really important to me as a future OT."
