Applications are currently OPEN for the 2023-2024 Residency class.
We have residency positions available at multiple sites including the UVA Orthopedic Center Therapy Services in Charlottesville, Va, PRO Physical Therapy in Winchester, VA, ReShape Physical Therapy in Arlington, VA and Winchester, Va, and Phoenix Rehabilitation in Richmond, Va and Chesapeake, Va. We are currently developing other sites in Virginia. Other positions may be available at the above sites depending on clinic needs.
The resident will have 4 hours weekly of 1:1 mentoring with a fellowship trained faculty instructor/mentor. The resident will complete the Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Series. There will be a variety of additional external continuing educational opportunities brought to the various clinics in the program throughout the year to add to the eclectic nature of the program. Past external courses have included the annual Running Medicine Conference, weekend courses by Chad Cook, Brian Hoke, Robert Donatelli, Bob Boyles, Mark Jones, Mike Reiman, Lorimer Moseley and a dry needling certification course.
