Physical Therapy: Clinical

Residency in Orthopaedics

Program Overview: 

The Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy is committed to the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) Vision 2020 which states “Physical Therapy, by 2020, will be provided by physical therapists who are doctors of physical therapy and who may be board-certified specialists.”

The APTA describes clinical residencies as follows:

• A post-professional clinical residency is a planned program of post-professional clinical and didactic education that is designed to advance significantly the physical therapist's preparation as a provider of patient care services in a defined area of clinical practice.
• The goal of post-professional clinical residency programs is to produce clinicians who demonstrate superior post-professional clinical skills, advanced knowledge in an area of clinical practice, and the ability to function as consultants, advocates, and educators of their peers and patients.

Credentialed by the APTA in 2003, the clinical residency program enables physical therapist to accelerate their expertise in evaluation, examination, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and management of patients with orthopaedic dysfunction. Developed for physical therapists with one or more years of practice, who are interested in significantly advancing their preparation as a provider of orthopaedic patient care, this program combines contemporary, evidence-based coursework with highly individualized, advanced clinical preceptorship under the supervision of master clinicians.

The orthopaedic residency for physical therapists is part-time and open to students enrolled in either the Advanced Master of Science program or the Certificate of Advanced Study with a specialization in orthopaedics. Students interested in the clinical residency program should either possess the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, or can enroll concurrently in the tDPT program.

Paid Residency Opportunities:
