Neurologic Residency
The University of Central Florida (UCF) and Orlando Health (OH) Neurologic Residency Program is a great opportunity for physical therapists to advance their knowledge and develop their clinical skills in the area of neurologic rehabilitation.
The total duration of the program is 1 year, which includes 12 months of clinical rotation at Orlando Health (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient care) and 3 semesters at UCF (didactic, teaching, research, professional, and community service). The resident spends 32 hours a week at Orlando Health and 8 hours a week at UCF.
The selected residents are mentored by nationally recognized and award-winning clinical and didactic faculty. The neurologic residents are the heart of the program, and the “current” residency curriculum is designed based on the strength, previous experience, and interests of the “current” residents accepted into the program.
Prerequisites:
- All applicants to the residency program are required to have successfully graduated from a CAPTE accredited physical therapy program.
- All applicants to the residency program must have a current license in the state of Florida or be scheduled to take the board examination in July 2024.
- All applicants are required to complete and pass the Florida Laws and Rules Examination.
- All applicants are required to have three letters of reference that should discuss their clinical skills as a physical therapist, one of which must come from a current rehabilitation director or a clinical instructor (for new graduates).
