This study explored the experiences of 33 Master of OT students in their first semester of graduate school. Students described a recurring movement of turbulence and rebalancing as they moved from undergraduate to graduate education. The stages appeared to be cyclical in nature. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was used as a means to understand these barriers and facilitators. Faculty can facilitate adaptation to promote students’ academic and professional success and improve student retention and matriculation.
