Agile Physical Therapy’s commitment to excellence is exemplified by our educational programs. Over the last decade, we have developed an orthopedic residency and fellowship, a hand therapy fellowship, a pelvic and gender health residency, and the student program. The student program for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy assistants was developed in line with our core values. These values consist of humility, caring, camaraderie, professional growth, and excellence. At Agile, our clinical and fieldwork instructors strive to provide high quality clinical education for students on their way to advanced degrees. This program works to enhance clinical reasoning, promote skill mastery, and inspire future leaders in healthcare.
