Listen "2nd Year: External Placement + Special Olympics"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we sit down with Daija, a second-year Athletic Therapy student currently completing her second year in the program. We dive into her background, how she found her way into the AT program, and the experiences that shaped her decision to pursue this path — including her time volunteering with Special Olympics. Her experiences seen on her Instagram @daijapeters.at are most definitely worth following along!Daija shares what it’s like navigating an external placement, how her journey outside the classroom has informed her learning, and her best advice for first-year students preparing for their own placements. Plus, we chat about what she hopes to accomplish in her final year and what she wants to take away from the program. And don’t miss the lightning round at the end — fast takes on everything from favourite tape jobs to her funniest placement stories. Whether you’re a current student, an aspiring AT, or just curious about the field, this episode’s got gems of insight, inspiration, and real talk.
