“Project ASPIRE’s emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration was extremely important to me because it strengthened my knowledge of child-centered approaches for my career in pediatrics. I am especially excited about the opportunity to obtain DIR Floortime certification, as I have developed an interest in this framework and am eager to support children through individualized, relationship-based care.”

“Through Project ASPIRE, I hope to build stronger interprofessional relationships and expand my knowledge of pediatric career opportunities, community resources, and best practices for children with disabilities. I hope this advanced learning experience will strengthen my clinical reasoning and confidence and refine my skills so that I can provide effective and compassionate care.”
