The DPT program will be both rewarding and difficult. Don't expect yourself to be perfect, don't expect yourself to know the answer to every posed question. Be prepared to make mistakes, surprise yourself, learn more than you thought you could, support others, lean on others, and become immersed in a community of compassionate and intelligent individuals that will mold you into a wonderful practitioner.

I was initially attracted to Mayo Clinic's DPT program due to its emphasis on patient-centered care and inclusion of integrative clinical education. However, I truly knew Mayo Clinic was where I needed to be after my interview day. There was an exceptional sense of professionalism and rigor, which was to be expected, but there was also a sense of unity and familial support that I hadn't experienced at other interview days.

I originally chose to apply to Mayo Clinic because of its high standard of care and education. I wanted to be a part of a world-renowned education and medical system that would develop me into the best clinician I could be. However, after my in-person interview, I knew that Mayo was definitely where I wanted to go. While in my interview, was taken back by the kindness and skill of the faculty members, the professional environment, and strategic program layout.
