First-Year OTD Students on a Residency Week

GW OT Student Ambassadors, Jenny and Celia, record videos to capture a day in their life as first-year students during a Residency Week. Follow them along as they start their day, take a practical assessment, lead a facility tour with a prospective student, and enjoy a night out in Washington, D.C.

Jenny is from California and enjoys the flexibility that comes with the hybrid format of the GW Occupational Therapy program as well as its location. "Because we're in the nation's capital, we have so many opportunities here that you really can't get anywhere else," she said.

Celia is from New Jersey and described the faculty's diversity and experience as a key benefit of the program. "The program and curriculum are designed to teach a lot about cultural humility, occupational justice, and approaching people from a holistic lens," she said.
