Physical Therapy Residency and Certification
Bellin Health offers orthopedic and sports residencies as well as geriatric and women’s health certifications. Programs range from 12-18 months in duration and prep the therapist to pass specialty certification examination (OCS, SCS, GCS, WCS), become leaders in the profession, and provide the most up to date evidence based care to patients. Our residency and certification programs partner with Evidence in Motion for the didactic portion of the program, while one on one mentoring will be performed onsite at our Bellin locations.
Mission
To provide a structured orthopedic, sports, geriatric and pelvic health physical therapy residency emphasizing the development, utilization and implementation of sound clinical reasoning and evidence based medicine into clinical practice. This will occur through a network partnership with Evidence in Motion following EIM’s didactic and clinical residency curricula. Hands-on and clinical guidance will be provided at Bellin Health by experienced board certified OCS, SCS, GCS and Fellowship trained mentors. The end goal will be to develop novice, entry level DPT physical therapists into an independent, proficient, and skilled doctor of physical therapy.
