I encouraged her and let her know the skills are portable no matter what you're doing, and that it's doable. And throughout my time in the program I was talking with her about it, and she would ask me questions, and I just really encouraged her. It's how I wound up getting my doctorate, someone encouraged me. ![Erin Leary\_Headshot](https://info.mghihp.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Erin%20Leary_Headshot.jpeg?width=100&height=100&name=Erin%20Leary_Headshot.jpeg) ###### Erin Leary, OT, OTR '23 Referred a friend to the IHP PP-OTD program ![MGBU\_horiz\_rgb](https://info.mghihp.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/MGBU_horiz_rgb.png?width=300&height=43&name=MGBU_horiz_rgb.png) Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions Charlestown Navy Yard 36 1st Avenue Boston MA 02129-4557 Copyright ©2026 Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions
