Physical Therapy Residency

Dedicated to personalized and innovative post-graduate training focused on sports rehabilitation and performance enhancement.

UD's Sports Physical Therapy Residency Program's mission is to develop expert, dedicated community leaders in sports physical therapy through high quality experiences across the spectrum of athletics, personalized mentorship, and a robust and innovative curriculum guided by the best available evidence.

We are excited to offer the opportunity to learn from sports rehabilitation and performance experts as well as work with our esteemed clinical partners. The UD Sports PT Residency Program is an innovative program, combining the academic strengths of a successful Doctor of Physical Therapy program with the unique and rich practical athletic opportunities through our clinical partners. 

The American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education has granted the University of Dayton Sports Residency 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.
