Physical Therapy Residency
Ohio University/OhioHealth Physical Therapy Residency
The Physical Therapy Residency Program is a collaboration with OhioHealth to offer an orthopedic, neurological, and a pelvic health residency for licensed physical therapists. This partnership brings together the strengths of both organizations to create high-quality residency programs designed to advance the clinical and scientific knowledge base, clinical skills, clinical research skills, and teaching effectiveness of physical therapists.
OhioHealth offers strong and varied clinical experiences with advanced clinical mentoring by physical therapists and physicians, while the Ohio University Division of Physical Therapy offers exceptional learning experiences through coursework, advanced clinical and teaching mentorship, and research opportunities. The specific advantages of this partnership are to improve patient care and to enrich and build the careers of the residents. Each of the first three orthopedic residents has passed the OCS examination upon completion of the residency.
The resident will be an employee of OhioHealth and will earn 80 percent salary commensurate with experience. Benefits typical of an OhioHealth associate are provided by OhioHealth.
