Dear Prospective Residents:
Thank you for your interest in the Inova Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program!
Being an excellent physical therapist is not a destination, it's a journey. We hope in our residency program that we help you create tools, skills and a blueprint that will last you a lifetime.
At Inova Physical Therapy Centers (IPTC), we are team dedicated to being the provider of choice for our community. Our goal is to provide an exceptional patient experience with a development-focused environment for our therapists, while providing therapy services that meet the unique needs of our community. Building a program where potential meets talent allows us to develop highly advanced clinicians with a skillset tailored to maximize patients' outcomes, every time, every touch.
At Inova Health System I have been privileged to have several mentors. My mentors in my personal and professional journey have helped me get to where I am today a lot faster than if I were to travel alone. The benefits of mentorship can be measured in time as your learning curve is faster and you gain the life experiences of a mentor that is invaluable to your growth and development. Our residency mentors are fantastic people as well as clinicians and are the foundation of our Inova physical therapy orthopedic residency program.
We are privileged to offer:
- A dynamic learning experience, including exemplary mentorship training at multiple clinical sites
- Laboratory intensive weekend clinical training
- Clinical shadowing of our orthopedic doctors, including our world-renowned sports medicine team
- Participation to our community events
- Full exposure to a wide variety of patient diagnoses with our 1-on-1 patient care model to further your clinical skill and development.
I know that once you explore our program, you will see that our talented team at Inova Physical Therapy Center deserves the very best team of residents — and I hope that team will soon include you!
Best Regards,
Benjamin Igwe, PT, DPT, OCS, MBA
