About the Program
Clinical Practicum
This residency offers supervised, non-mentored, direct clinical patient care that allows the resident to integrate knowledge gained from all content areas, including foundations, and to gain experience in the management of orthopedic and sports-related injuries.
Clinical Mentoring
The programs supports one-on-one mentoring of a patient with an orthopedic-certified specialist and fellowship-trained manual therapist to advance the resident’s skill in evaluation and treatment of orthopedic and sports-related injuries, including examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and return to activity.
Research and Investigation

Lab
