Our Mission:
We are dedicated to developing competent post-professional physical therapy clinicians who are specialized in orthopedics, who strive for continual improvements in patient care, and who are active in making positive impacts within their communities. We supplement and support our residents in remaining current within the orthopedic physical therapy specialty, in achieving and maintaining top quality patient care, and in engaging and educating the communities they will serve including child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations.
