Program Entrance Date: Rolling dates (Fall, Winter & Summer)
Salary: Residents will receive a salary. The salary may be adjusted to reflect the costs associated with the specialized training, one on one mentoring and a decreased case load. Residents do not carry a full-time case load in order to allow time for didactic coursework, research, presentations and projects. Another possible option may be a salary based upon experience but with a required time commitment to Florida Hospital once the residency is completed.
Tuition: While enrolled in the FH orthopedic residency program, there is no fee for tuition or specialized training.
Benefits: Residents are eligible for benefits through Florida Hospital. This includes employer supported health and dental insurance, disability and life insurance and paid time off. This is not an all inclusive list, and applicants may receive a full description of benefits upon request.
Overview: The program is designed to provide residents with a year-long intensive study of orthopedic physical therapy, preparing them to become advanced practitioners and to sit for the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist Exam offered by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties. Clinical time during the residency, which includes structured one-on-one mentoring, comprises approximately 75-80 % of a typical week. The remainder of time is spent completing didactic training, research, projects, presentations, assistant teaching, and shadowing physicians related to the overall curriculum of the residency program.
