Residency Program Recognized at CSM
The Jackson Clinics Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program in Northern Virginia, was recognized during the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego for having successfully achieved credentialing as an orthopedic residency program. This program’s initial credential is effective as of December 31, 2009. Their ongoing credential is effective through December 31, 2014.
A credentialed residency or fellowship program promotes standards of quality and consistency in the teaching and practice of physical therapy. Through their voluntarily participation and adherence to the requirements of the credentialing process, these programs confirm to potential residents or fellows their commitment to providing quality learning experiences by meeting established criteria. Additionally, completion of the credentialing process is an affirmation to the public at large of the program’s commitment to the protection of the consumer of physical therapy.
VPTA congratulates The Jackson Clinics for their achievement of excellence in physical therapy education.
