"I cannot recommend Cincinnati Children's Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program enough. I expanded my ability to treat complex patients with improved clinical reasoning and critical thinking skills, but also feel I gained tools and resources to help me continue to grow and develop as a physical therapist the rest of my career. One of the highlights of the residency for me was the amount of mentorship I received from different mentors with a variety of different expertise. The passion, drive, and dedication of the residency faculty is inspiring and they are truly committed to helping each resident. Some of the primary reasons I chose Cincinnati Children's for my orthopedic residency was the focus on evidence-based practice, support for research, and their passion for treating the pediatric population. I feel completing Cincinnati Children's orthopedic residency prepared me not only for becoming an orthopedic certified specialist, but also provided a platform for a career-long interest in learning and contributing to the profession."
