Starting your first role as an allied health therapist can be exciting, rewarding, and challenging all at once.
In this episode, host Bec Sampson is joined by Sara-Jane Arns (speech pathologist), Taylor Hayward (occupational therapist) and Mohammed El-Ali (physiotherapist).
From choosing the right workplace and making the most of placements, to nailing interviews, building confidence as a clinician, and embracing reflective practice, Sara-Jane, Taylor and Mohammed unpack what it really takes to navigate the transition from student to professional. They also explore the importance of workplace support, professional growth, and setting meaningful goals for the years ahead.
Whether you're preparing to graduate, starting your first role, or supporting new graduates in your team, this episode offers practical advice, reflections and insights to help navigate the new graduate year.
