I apologize in advance if you’ve answered this question already. What are your goals after you graduate? I’m trying to gain some more insight between starting my own clinic as opposed to working for an organization.

Although I’m not exactly sure what I want to do when I graduate, I have some general ideas. I’d like to specialize in ortho, so to start I’ll consider whether a residency would be helpful, or if not, I’d like to work in either a private clinic or the outpatient department of a hospital. One day I would like to own my own clinic. I also want to continue to combine my love of the media with PT by continuing this blog and transitioning to a writing a column or appearing on television.

Whether or not you do start your own clinic, you wouldn’t start it as a new graduate because you’d need more experience first.
