Largo, Florida Carolyn Tremblay, D.P.T. Winter Park, Florida Being in a hybrid program influenced me in that it has tre- mendously strengthened my work ethic and determination to succeed as a working health care professional. Working hard to stay on track with assignments, and dedicating a significant amount of time to studying and practicing hands-on techniques, played a significant role in my success.” —Jocelyn Hall, D.P.T. I didn’t anticipate developing a close-knit group of friends in a hybrid program where we met once a month, but I feel like I developed meaningful relationships with my classmates and instruc- tors that will continue on for years to come.” —Jennifer Clarkson, D.P.T. The thing that surprised me about the hybrid program was the amount of quality, hands-on training during our on-campus time, especially the opportunity to work with community members who represented our potential patient population. As a result, I felt prepared for clinical internships and comfortable in moving on to that portion of my education.” —Carolyn Tremblay, D.P.T. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to acclimate to the fast-paced, acute-care environment.” —Amy Casteel, D.P.T.
