Orthopaedic

Overview:

As a world-class organization on the cutting edge of evidence-based practice and professional development, the Brooks IHL Orthopaedic Residency program prepares its residents to educate and care for complex orthopaedic populations. The program is one year in length and consists of three components that include didactic/psychomotor classes, clinical mentoring, and unique learning experiences. In addition, the development of case presentations and written reports prepare the resident for participation in professional conferences and potential submission for publication.

Our Orthopaedic residents have the unique opportunity to practice in state-of-the art outpatient facilities alongside experts in multiple disciplines and specialty populations. In addition, residents from all of the Brooks IHL residency programs comprehensively participate in foundational courses, allowing for development of professional relationships with colleagues of various specialty practice areas.

Currently we offer two Orthopaedic Residencies, one located in Jacksonville, Florida and the other located in Orlando, Florida. Both programs include the same high quality curriculum with a dedicated team of faculty members. Our program in Jacksonville has been accredited with the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE) since 2007. ABPTRFE has granted the Brooks Rehabilitation Orthopaedic Residency – Orlando candidacy status. Candidacy status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation. Achieving candidacy status is not an indication that ABPTRFE will grant initial accreditation. Participants who graduate from a program in candidacy status are not deemed to have completed an accredited program.
