Benefits of Residency Training

• The APTA advocates completing a residency for those considering specialization. Residency training provides the tools for more efficient examination and interventions, better patient outcomes, more diverse career training, and networking. Those PTs deciding to complete a residency program and sit for the specialist examination are more marketable practitioners.
• Upon successful completion of an APTA-credentialed clinical residency program, graduates are considered qualified to sit for their respective specialty examination.
