"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."

"The Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program at Cincinnati Children's was the launching pad for my career in pediatric sports medicine. I graduated with a year’s worth of invaluable mentorship, patient interactions, and didactic learning specific to the young athlete. Not to mention, an ignited passion for empowering young athletes to move more and better, which led to an itch to get involved in research and develop community outreach programs. The fun and fulfilling challenges I find myself tackling now are definitely a testament to the breadth and quality of skills I gained during my time as a resident."
