The Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) Fellowship is a 12-month program beginning in January and concluding the following December. Our comprehensive program includes clinical care at Ohio State Sports Medicine, mentorship with fellowship-trained clinicians, teaching and research experience. The fellowship program is accredited through the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE) and Accreditation Council on Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Education (ACOMPTE).
The goal of the OMPT Fellowship is to develop subspecialty manual techniques and assessment skills consistent with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy’s (AAOMPT) Description of Advanced Specialty Practice. This is accomplished through guided mentored practice, teaching and research opportunities. This robust program integrates resources from our own Wexner Medical Center and an academic program personalized to each professional to enhance patient outcomes and develops leaders in the PT profession.
