The EIM Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Residency is a planned program of post-professional clinical and didactic education for physical therapists designed to advance the physical therapist resident's preparation as a provider of patient care services in orthopaedic physical therapy. The program combines opportunities for ongoing clinical supervision and mentoring, with a theoretical basis for advanced practice and scientific inquiry. The program is designed to facilitate the growth of practitioners as physical therapists skilled in orthopaedic physical therapy. We seek to produce highly skilled, autonomous practitioners who have substantially increased their ability to provide care to patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Graduates will have a strong base of knowledge of evidence-based practice, orthopaedic manual therapy techniques, advanced medical screening, and radiology. Graduates will be positioned to achieve the Orthopaedic Certified Specialist certification from the ABPTS and will be leaders in the orthopaedic physical therapy field.

The EIM Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship is a planned program of post-professional clinical and didactic education that prepares an experienced clinician or board-certified clinical specialist in the subspecialty of orthopedic manual physical therapy. The clinical and didactic instruction is intensive and includes extensive mentored clinical experience and provides a sufficient and appropriate patient population to create an environment for building advanced clinical skills. The program is designed to graduate clinician scientists skilled in the evidence-based integration of thrust and non-thrust manipulation into the overall care of patients with musculoskeletal conditions. We seek to produce highly skilled autonomous practitioners who are critical thinkers, reflective, empathetic, and lifelong learners. Fellowship graduates will represent the best clinicians in the physical therapy profession, equipped to teach and mentor residents, clinicians, and students.
