The mission of the Therapy Partners Group University Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency program is to provide post-professional development opportunities for physical therapists desiring to receive Board Certification in the area of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and advance clinical orthopedic skills. The program will encourage the development and enhancement of advanced manual therapy skills, the evidence-based rationale for treatments, and clinical reasoning to allow the resident to evaluate and treat orthopedic-specific issues throughout their lifespan.
Our program’s goal is to develop the upcoming leaders of the Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Profession. We plan to ignite the passion for physical therapy in our residents and promote the profession through education, leadership, and community service.
