Residencies: The Inside Scoop!


Time to give some big props to our membership coordinator, Nicole Baldridge, who is currently doing her residency in women’s health at UPMC! Way to go!

What is a residency? It is a post-professional clinical and didactic education program designed to advance the clinician as a provider of care in a specially defined area of clinical practice.  There are currently five residencies in women’s health that are credentialed by the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency & Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE).  There are two developing programs that have applied for credentialing from the ABPTRFE. Programs typically last from nine to fifteen months.

For more information on all residency programs go to:

So what do you think? Anyone thinking about applying to a residency program this year? Join the SSIG and get some advice or talk it out with other students today!
