“I have been a practicing clinician for 13 years, and I decided to get into the Residency Program because I was interested in taking the OCS exam. The course was intense, but I learned SO MUCH. I was always uncomfortable with working on the spine, but after being in this program, I have gained knowledge and confidence in my skills and actually prefer the spine over other body parts! The staff involved were incredibly supportive, meeting individually with me to go over questions I had. I thought it was just more of a prep for the OCS, but it literally changed how I feel and perform as a clinician! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

“The residency faculty were outstanding—exceptionally knowledgeable and always willing to meet me where I was in my learning journey. I began the program just 8 months after graduating from PT school, and I felt fully supported every step of the way. Thanks to this program, my confidence and clinical growth have exceeded all my expectations. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and expertise I received throughout the residency.”

“As a physical therapist who has completed a residency program, I strongly recommend this path for anyone looking to elevate their clinical skills and confidence. The mentorship component was particularly valuable, providing me with structured, hands-on guidance, working with mentors who challenged my critical thinking, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment planning in real time. This personalized feedback allowed me to refine my skills far beyond what I could achieve through independent practice alone. Residency also provided an evidence-based framework and advanced clinical training that equipped me to deliver higher quality care and achieve better outcomes for my patients. The mentorship and immersive learning experience truly transformed my approach to physical therapy, and I believe it is an unparalleled opportunity for professional growth for my colleagues.”

“Being able to work closely with so many like-minded clinicians from around the company was a huge benefit for me. Our feedback was always taken very seriously, giving me the sense that I was helping to shape the residency program for future cohorts. The confidence that I've gained as a clinician has made all of the hard work in the past year well worth it!”

“Orthopedic residency has been the most productive educational experience of my life. It has enhanced every aspect of my clinical practice and helped to create a structured framework to foster continued professional growth far beyond residency's completion. It has allowed me to clinically reason and practice at a level of nuance and precision that I had not previously thought possible.”
