Our Mission and Goals
At Duke, we pride ourselves in our highly skilled team of physical therapists and occupational therapists. In order to continue to strive for excellence in patient care and leadership within the health system, we have several physical therapy residency training programs to further this cause among developing clinicians.
The mission of our physical therapy residency programs is to develop clinicians who by virtue of their critical thinking skills and clinical expertise are able to provide excellent care for their patients while also being leaders at all levels of the health system.
The primary aim of our residency programs is to give our residents the expertise needed to be experts in their field. Beyond that, we also want to provide them the tools to successfully pass their respective board specialty exams.
