Neurologic Residency Program
About the Program
Accredited by the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE) through 2025, the neurologic residency program is 12 months long, starting and finishing the last week of August.
In partnership with the St. Vincent Evansville & University of Evansville Neurologic Residency Program, the program aims to develop exceptional, passionate, and persevering physical therapists dedicated to excellent care of the body, mind and spirit of individuals served. It is our vision that residents will serve as leaders in the field of neurologic physical therapy, advancing the profession by facilitating the translation of evidence to clinical practice using measurement as a guide to the systematic application and assessment of interventions. The program strives to create a supported learning environment that encourages lifelong professional growth beginning with the residency and continuing throughout the entire career in the areas of patient care, teaching, mentoring, research, and community engagement and outreach

"Mentorship was a huge component of residency that drew me to this program. The mentors are immensely knowledgeable and experienced in their practice and have much to offer a PT resident. They offer constructive feedback, enhancing my learning and skills as a therapist. The weekly mentoring worksheets, the daily feedback forms, and the mini-assessments were helpful; these tools offer multiple opportunities for me to receive written feedback and identify areas for growth within my own practice."
