Our Master of Occupational Therapy Graduates are saying
Mark Kislan (Class of 2000) Chatham has given me the knowledge and skills that I need to be able to view the whole person, regardless of age or disability, and to help them function more independently in their lives.
Stephanie Fantauzzo Johnson (Class of 2002) I am convinced that my ability to efficiently evaluate clients and develop and implement effective treatment plans is directly related to the hands-on approach to OT education that I received at Chatham.
Captain Jim Burns (Class of 1998) The educational training at Chatham prepared me for my assignment as an OT with the 21st Combat Support Hospital, U. S. Army, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, has brought about new and exciting challenges. The chance to treat a pediatric burn patient brought unique opportunity that enabled both personal and professional growth.
Shannon O'Donnell (Class of 2004) I never imagined my graduate school experience could afford me so many cherished virtues knowledge, lifelong friendships, and visionary mentors. Chatham enabled me to gain the knowledge and skill that I was searching for.
