No Longer in Existence

Hi Lisa,

I went to a school that no longer exists and did things the old fashioned way with a lot of apprenticing to complete my required clinic hours. That being said, It is my belief that, until schools have some endowments (such as donations from the profession to non-profit institutions to subsidize tuition scholarships, etc) so that they can choose who they let in and who they do not with more discernment that currently possible in a privately-owned-tuition-based model of funding, we will continue to have lots of schools owners who feel the same as the man you spoke to who would not request student reviews! It's a sad state of affairs, but true. Some are, however, clearly better than others in my experience with post-graduate education! Some teachers and administrators actually truly care about the quality of practitioner they are turning out.

Thanks for your forum here,
