Post-Professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy
Success Stories
Nancy Doyle, MS, OTR/L, OTD Candidate
"I decided to work towards a doctorate as a formal way to continue my learning in occupational therapy. I wanted something more than just continuing education courses to show my professional development and growth both for myself and for future employment opportunities. I also wanted to open myself to the possibility of teaching within the profession one day.
Boston University was the only doctoral program I wanted to apply to. I have watched with interest as BU has continually been at the top of occupational therapy programs in the country since I began in the profession. I also knew from established relationships with a few of their professors the caliber of education I would receive. Then, as I began to look into their course materials, I realized that I would receive highly personalized mentoring from renowned and approachable professors throughout my doctoral work. I also found that BU's course offerings were innovative, forward-thinking, and socially conscious. I believe that occupational therapy will continue to make great professional contributions to our nation and world, and I felt I could best develop those skills within my self through participating in this program.
I selected Boston University's online doctoral program because it fit best with my life. I wanted a program that would allow me to be flexible in scheduling and travel. I also wanted to work with professors that would understand how critical flexibility in my work is to my engagement and success in their program.
As a current online OTD student at Boston University, I have discovered even more intrigue and support in this program than I had previously expected. I am fascinated by the course materials and assignments, and I feel both nurtured and challenged in my new learning endeavors. The professors encourage me to pursue my true interests in the field as I learn skills, methods, and philosophies that I know will be a part of all my future professional endeavors." |
