About the program
Elevate your practice with a residency-style program that allows you the flexibility to complete it on your own timeline. We designed this program for the clinician who is seeking advanced post-professional education, but requires a more flexible schedule.
Highbar’s Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist Program is led by a staff of Board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialists and consists of advanced post-graduate clinical and didactic education for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
Our program structure
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• Earn quality didactic and laboratory learning experiences
• Be prepared to become a specialist in the field of
orthopedic physical therapy
• You will be prepared for board certification in orthopedics
• Be prepared as an outstanding mentor and leader in your clinic
“At Highbar, we believe in providing limitless professional development opportunities to clinicians as they grow throughout their career, whether they seek to grow into leaders as Clinic Directors or as clinical leaders, mentors, and experts. The development of our own Orthopedic Residency was a natural step to continue providing opportunities not only to residents but for our clinician-leaders as mentors and faculty.”

“I have experienced firsthand the immense impact that residency education can have on one’s growth as a clinician. For this reason, I wanted to afford our clinicians this same opportunity. With the help of a group of passionate and expert therapists, we developed a highly-personalized residency program that is founded in evidence-based clinical education and practice.”
