Derek Clewley, DPT, PhD, and Kyle Covington, PT, DPT, PhD, are launching a one-year Orthopaedic Hybrid Physical Therapy Residency program this year.
The American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education has granted candidacy status for the program. The first cohort begins their journey in September.
In collaboration with Duke Health Rehabilitation Services, the Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) division created this program for physical therapists who want to advance their knowledge and skills. It fills a need for expanding specialized training for DPTs nationwide who may otherwise be unable to participate in post-professional training.
