“I was interested in the residency program because two OTs in my area were applying and was interested in collaborating with other Ivy clinicians across all three disciplines from across the country. STAR, DIR, and PROMPT have been the highlight. I have learned so much that I am with my patients every day.” – Bridgette Nehlen, M.A., CCC-SLP, Chesapeake, VA
