\u201cFYPC is incredibly helpful! Shortly before joining, I found out my rotations were on hold due to COVID and that current rotation schedules would be changing. During my time off, I worked through each of the modules. Modules 1 and 2 were probably the most beneficial for me; they helped me develop language to explain my experience and goals. I wound up reaching out to my experiential education office to explain my interests and see if I could be placed in any core or elective rotations related to my areas of interest. After my rotation, I was offered a part-time paid internship and a job offer after graduation, which I gladly accepted. Your course taught me how to reflect on my career path and how to apply those reflections to career growth. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to interact with current APPE students in my new role, and I have recommended your course to almost all of them. Thank you so much!\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
