Hello! I'm a undergraduate student in my final year of Kinesiology studies at the University of British Columbia in Canada.

I'm looking to apply to master programs in either occupational or physical therapy. Any current OTs or PTs willing to share your schooling experience and career growth in the field? Thanks in advance!

I think it's a pretty cool path to take, personally it might be worth reaching out to some of the local PTs around you to understand their experience better. I think the experience can vary based on whether you're in a hospital vs clinic scenario etc

Tip - go volunteer/shadow or work part-time at a physio clinic
Or go volunteer at ICORD-PARC, those will get you some hands-on experience and connected with other OT/PTs

You can also get licensed as a Kinesiologist (literally just pay a fee) as soon as you graduate (if you took the health sci or physical training stream)
