Connect with Peers
Use the Tide Pool's directory and messaging boards to strike up a conversation with DPT students and residents across the country. Talk through NPTE prep, ask your most mind-bending questions from clinicals—or simply join a book club!
Find a Mentor
Looking for a time-tested and wise mentor to guide you through the rocky roads of your early DPT career? We’ve recruited a group of passionate and skilled mentors to connect with students and provide guidance. Through our Mentor Connect program, you can find the mentor who’s right for you—whether you want a high-touch or low-stress relationship.
Attend Professional Development Webinars
DPT school covers a lot of ground—treating the human body is no easy task, after all! But even the best DPT schools have gaps in their curriculum, especially when it comes to professional development. In the Tide Pool, community members can attend webinars that go beyond the university classroom, from learning how to interview for a dream job to navigating financial decisions to connecting with patients on a deeper level.
Explore Potential Employers
Finding the perfect employer is key to building a gratifying and long-lasting career. Through the Tide Pool, students and fresh DPTs can connect with employers who support Rizing Tide’s mission, vetting them in low-pressure environments like happy hours and virtual career forums.
