It is important to understand that in a residency program, you are no longer a student and do not require direct supervision. Instead, as a licensed physical therapist working towards clinical specialization, you will receive at least 150 hours of mentorship from our clinical mentors in order to help prepare you as a highly qualified provider of patient care services in multiple pediatric clinical practice areas. You are expected to independently manage pediatric patients in a variety of settings, and the clinical mentors will offer guidance and direction through formal and informal mentoring opportunities.
