Why You'll Love Being Here
We like to think of ourselves as the “better place to build your PT career,” and here’s why:
Mentorship & Onboarding: Regardless of years of experience, all clinicians are offered a structured onboarding and mentorship program led by trained, hand-selected mentors.
Endless Growth: Multiple specialty/residency programs, a packed CEU calendar, national clinical collaboration, an internal business school, leadership development, CI/Mentor opportunities, a clinical career ladder, and non-clinical career pathways.
Unique Opportunities: Dream of opening your own PT practice? We can help you do that—with equity. Want to travel? We have an internal travel program, too!
Effortless Documentation: With our partnership with Ambient Notes (an AI documentation tool), clinicians can expect to reduce their normal documentation time by up to 60%, allowing them to spend more time with patients and keeping their work AT work.
Manageable Caseloads: We believe in aligning with regional outpatient benchmarks, and we’re proud to offer caseloads that are lower than many of our local competitors. This means you’ll have more time to focus on each patient’s unique needs, resulting in better outcomes and a more fulfilling workday.
Flexible Schedules: We know outpatient ortho has a reputation for long, unpredictable hours, but we work hard to support our clinicians and create schedules that work for both them and their patients.
