Well, it was very exciting to present Section 1 of the credentialing application document to the two Premier Physical Therapy and Sports Performance clinics and to let everyone know what we have been working on over the past few weeks. The information was very well received by all of the clinicians and valuable advice was given by everyone. I am now going back and making changes based on people’s recommendations including changing what we are going to ask in the application we have developed for potential residents to apply to our program. We have decided to have candidates write a personal statement as well as a professional statement to help us get a better idea of who they are as a person prior to inviting candidates for an interview.
One of my biggest struggles right now is determining what will be included in the residency handbook. I have begun a table of contents which I have noticed is going to be a work in progress throughout the development of this residency. I am going to be teaming up with another clinician to help develop this handbook as I think having the insight of somebody else will be very helpful. I am trying to include all aspects of the residency program from those required by ABPTRFE, as well as basic human resources and new hire information, and rehabilitation practice guidelines and clinical prediction rules frequently used at Premier Physical Therapy and Sports Performance.
On a side note, my clinic had a big week this week- myself and one other clinician found out we passed the SCS exam which really helps us move forward with this residency program. We now have three clinicians in our Middletown office that are sports certified specialists which will be a huge asset to our program!
