<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To our prospective resident,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thank you for your interest in the Columbia VA Health Care System (CVAHCS) Orthopedic PT Residency program.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The mission of the CVAHCS residency program is to train qualified Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) in advanced orthopedic specialty practice employing the mentorship of experienced clinicians,
incorporating evidence-informed practice in providing quality care and improved patient outcomes. The program delivers orthopedic clinical experiences, mentoring, and didactic education to advance the level of orthopedic physical therapy practitioners who
exercise fiscal responsibility, evidence-informed practice dedicated to meeting the long-term health, wellness and specialized needs of our Veterans.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It is an exciting time for us as a profession as we move towards specialized practice as a recognized movement specialist. The congruent applications of theory and practice in a novice Physical
Therapist after the entry level (DPT) degree is often undistinguishable and met with abstruse thought processes through trial and error thus continued mentorship and formal guidance is imperative. This will allow the clinician to grow on track to the formative
years of learning. Mentorship also has shown to play a crucial role in academic success, professional growth, and development. This program aims to provide you with a deeper understanding of the sciences we learned in entry-level education by linking and applying
them into advance practice in order to deduce the scope and depth of knowledge into the whole patient in both biomechanical and biopsychosocial domains.</span></p>
