Sports Residency Curriculum
During this program, the physical therapist will work in-clinic 32 hours per week and spend 8 hours weekly in mentorship and sports coverage. The on-field “hands-on” sports physical therapy mentorship is provided by ProRehab's certified athletic trainers and physical therapists. The Resident will have the opportunity to work with a local high school as well as with collegiate and professional athletes. The Resident will observe surgery and participate in clinic patient care with the orthopedic surgeon.
