Orthopedic Residency Admissions

Admissions Policy

The holistic admissions process aims to build an Orthopedic Residency class that reflects a range of individual characteristics and backgrounds, preparing students for the variety they will encounter in their practice. For the admissions process, we intend to foster a rich learning experience for students in the program and create a class of graduates who will, as a group, excel in the many aspects of physical therapy. Our consideration will include factors that contribute to a class with varied life experiences.

The goals of the admission process for the Orthopedic Residency are to:

1. Identify the most qualified applicants through a fair and impartial admissions process.
2. Enroll highly qualified individuals with the most significant potential to become Certified Neurologic Therapists.
