Why did you choose to come to this program?
I was drawn to the IHP's PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences due to its focus on interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance overall patient outcomes. Having worked in various settings as an SLP, I valued the IHP's integration of perspectives with different rehabilitative professions to contribute to greater patient success.
