Why Did You Choose Bastyr’s DAOM Program?
“Learning satisfies an innate need to grow, and the DAOM program at Bastyr offered me the chance to grow in my profession. I'd always been interested in teaching, and had research questions I wanted to pursue but lacked the necessary experience and skills. Bastyr had the resources to make both of those goals attainable. On a more personal level, the school's gorgeous setting, good food and the combination of friendliness and high purpose in the Bastyr students and faculty won me over completely. I've been very happy here, and hope to continue as a member of the Bastyr community long after I graduate.”
