The PT Pathway Mentees
What Our Mentees Are Saying About OSA
“The OSA mentorship program has been great thus far, being the only African American male in my class at an HBCU can be disheartening at times. My mentor Jeff has been great, with his help I was able to stand out at my sports residency interview with Rehab to Perform. He's given me a lot of gems so far that I have been applying during my clinicals. I would highly recommend this to other aspiring PT students.”

“The OSA Mentorship program has helped me be mentally ready for my first day of PT school and on. As a first-year, the OSA Mentorship program gave me plenty of resources to adjust my study skills, manage expectations, relax my nerves/insecurities among other things. The mentors have a variety of backgrounds professionally and invite other professionals to speak. This makes for well-rounded guidance that any PT student would be looking for. I’m very happy to have sought out this program and would encourage others to do the same..”

“I am very thankful to be a part of the OSA Program. My mentor, Kim, has been an extremely knowledgeable resource. She has given my peers and I such great advice on topics such as job interviews, excelling at clinical affiliations, and useful clinical pearls that we can utilize as future Doctors of Physical Therapy. On top of all that, she is also very kind! This program has been very helpful.”
