Faculty, mentors, and residents work collaboratively to encompass all areas of the current Orthopedic Physical Therapy Description of Specialty Practice (DSP) throughout the duration of the residency. Direct one-on-one clinical and professional practice mentorship is built into the resident’s weekly schedule and curriculum. The clinical mentorship is an essential and highly valuable component of our residency. The Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residents will benefit from having dedicated time with several formal clinical mentors during their residency. Each resident will spend 1:1 clinic time directly with each mentor listed below, along with interactions amongst other clinics and professionals. Thus, in addition to planned weekly mentorship, our residents will have many opportunities throughout the planned residency curriculum and schedule to spend time with an array of clinical specialists, benefiting from these educational and professional practice interactions that will enhance their specialty orthopedic physical therapy practice. By completing the residency, the residency can sit for the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification examination by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS).
