General Residency Overview

A physical therapy clinical residency is a planned post-professional program intended to significantly advance the resident’s preparation as a provider of patient care services in a defined area of clinical practice. A clinical residency combines opportunities for ongoing clinical supervision and mentoring with a theoretical basis for advanced practice and scientific inquiry.

A physical therapy clinical residency occurs after the graduate physical therapist has obtained his/her license to practice.  A residency candidate must be licensed as a physical therapist in the state where the program is located.  For more information about residency programs, visit http://www.abptrfe.org/ResidencyPrograms/About/.
