The Physical Therapy Service at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center offers licensed physical therapists a year-long advanced practice residency in Neurologic Physical Therapy in partnership
with the University of Cincinnati. Our residency program is accredited by the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE) as a postprofessional program
for physical therapists in Neurology and is funded by the Office of Academic Affiliations. Residents will enjoy full-time employment while completing 150+ hours of 1:1 mentoring with
Neurologic Clinical Specialists across a variety of settings: acute/ICU, inpatient rehab, home-based primary care, outpatient, and nursing home. Collaborative, interprofessional practice
opportunities occur in the Neurology Clinic, a week-long immersive experience at the Cleveland VA in the SCI unit, the Headache Clinic, Movement Disorders Clinic, Gerofit Wellness Program
for Veterans age 65 or older, Pain Management, ALS Interdisciplinary Team with carry-over to the Advanced Seating & Mobility Clinic, and the TBI/Polytrauma Clinic. Residents will
manage a 32-hour patient caseload and have 8 hours to dedicate to self-study and a robust didactic curriculum that will be supplemented with a subscription to MedBridge during their time in
the residency. Our Program currently supports 2 residents annually. Residents who successfully complete the program are eligible to sit for the Neurologic Clinical Specialist (NCS) exam.
