”During my time here I was able to see how the therapists and staff navigated various situations and obstacles when it came to administrative tasks in the clinic. I felt extremely welcomed and accepted at my placement. They cared that I felt comfortable during my time working there and were genuinely interested in learning about my culture and background, as well as helping me learn about and acclimatize to theirs.”
