Professional Development
I've watched new grads grow into leaders they didn't know they could be. Building that path, then getting out of the way, is the whole job for me.
Talk to a clinician who's walked your path.

PT, DPT, OCS
Residency Director
Residency should change how you think, not just what you know. Through meaningful mentorship and challenging patient care, we help clinicians become more confident, adaptable, and intentional in the decisions they make for every patient.
Michelle Fuleky
PT, DPT, OCS
Director of Student Experience
I don't want our students to just complete a clinical rotation. I want them to be part of the team, part of a movement to change this profession for the better with real mentorship, room to grow and ask questions, and space to discover the PT they want to become.

Local Names, One Standard

For you, that's one career with room to move, the feel of a local team with a Highbar Practice behind you.
