A.S.
I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with brilliant professors in 绿帽社鈥檚 PP-OTD program who patiently invest their time in my learning. They create a compassionate learning environment without sacrificing rigor. Through their support, I am able to persevere toward my academic goals.
Y.D.
The faculty has worked hard to develop strong interpersonal relationships with each person in our cohort. I have expanded my knowledge greatly in a variety of practice areas. The capstone project is large and can be overwhelming. The slow progression throughout the program allows me to understand the process compared to just getting through the project, significantly expanding my knowledge of research methods and knowledge translation. I have enjoyed my time immensely at 绿帽社 and look forward to continuing my journey in the PP-OTD program!
