Our hope is to provide every student advancement in their chosen profession and an increased passion for patient care.
We strive to provide our students with the best outpatient, manual therapy, and orthopedic affiliation available. During structured Grand Rounds and Student Tutorials, led by members of our education team, students receive one-on-one time with therapists and CIs. We provide students with an extensive pre-affiliation onboarding packet that contains the company guidelines, the student handbook, and a documentation review. Completion of this onboarding is mandatory prior to the affiliation. This ensures students are adequately prepared for the types of patients they will see in our clinics and become familiar with the rules and laws in the affiliated states.
