This study was an exploratory investigation of the perceptions of current doctoral students and recent graduates from rehabilitation counseling and rehabilitation psychology programs on professional identity, professional associations, and recruitment. These three issues were selected based on the likelihood that students and recent graduates would have a different perspective than current leaders who are in the process of addressing these issues and would provide useful information. Participants' professional identities varied, but most felt that a unified identity for the discipline is important; a high percentage of participants held membership in at least one professional association; and most participants reported a willingness to recommend a master's or doctoral degree in rehabilitation counseling to a relative or friend.
