Thank you everyone for coming to our meeting on Monday for the University of Puget Sound\u2019s presentation on their Physical Therapy
\nprograms. Also, we need to send a big thank you to Jennifer Hastings for coming down from Tacoma to present to us.<\/p>\n
In Dr. Hastings\u2019s presentation, she describes to the members what the campus of university of Puget Sound look like and activities students can do around and in campus. She talks about what University of Puget Sound can offer for students in their PT school program and the\u00a0different between a doctrine and master degree. Besides talking about the campus, she also inform about the cost of attending UPS and classes schedule. For example, during summer, students in the PT programs will have internship. Also first year students will have a research study to do for assignments. UPS\u2019s PT program heavily focuses on peer to peer mentorship and clinical skills. Due to the fact that UPS\u2019s
\napplication is available on the PTCAS, the number of applicants is 545 students. But UPS will only select average 38 students who they feel ready and prepare for their program. Dr. Hastings also told us what she look for when she is reading students application,<\/p>\n
