Clinical Practicum
Supervised, non-mentored, direct clinical patient care to allow resident to integrate knowledge gained from all content areas, including foundations, and to gain experience in the management of sports- and orthopedic-related injuries.
Clinical Mentoring
One-on-one mentoring of a patient with a sports-certified specialists and fellowship-trained manual therapist to advance the resident's skill in evaluating and treating sports- and orthopedic-related injuries, including examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and return to activity.
Research and Investigation
Directed research on specific sports-related conditions that will expose the resident to the most current evidence-based approaches in evaluating and treating these specific injuries. Residents will develop and present case studies on specific patients and conditions, and participate in journal reviews and general faculty and resident discussions.
