Website!

I can’t believe it is already nearing the end of October, but I am feeling comfortable with the progress I am making on the credentialing document. I have started to have some questions come up that I plan to address with the staff at APTA as they have been more than helpful in the past. I am needing a little more explaining with some of the requirements for section 3 of the credentialing document (this is where my focus is for the time being.)

I am proud to say that our website is officially up and running and the residency application with additional residency information is now available on our site. If you want to check it out feel free to go to www.premierptsp.com.  There is a tab at the top for the residency.

So now I am struggling with how else to best  advertise for the residency. I have started to write up a description that can be posted on APTA and DPTA but I am not sure how to go about finding our first resident. If anyone has ideas I am all ears and if you know anyone interested in a sports residency feel free to pass along our information!

Looking at Sections 3 and 4

I have finally returned to consistently working on the residency credentialing document, which is helpful as it is hard to know where to start after a long break.

Now that I am back into the swing of things I have found the final sections to be very challenging. I had thought part 1 of the document was challenging but I am realizing that each section is challenging for its own reasons. I have completed the majority of section 2 with the biggest hurdle here being gathering all of the information on all of the clinicians that will be involved in the program. This also includes preparing to talk to doctors that will also be involved in the program and obtaining the necessary documentation.

I have started to look ahead to section 3 and 4 just to see what I am getting into. I have been looking at the DSP to work on developing the curriculum in compliance with the current DSP. I think it will be most challenging getting started with curriculum development and trying to match it as best as possible to our athletic seasons and likely scenarios that will be observed during these times. I am planning to go through the application resource manual to see examples from other programs to see if that helps me in the development of our curriculum.
