Comparisons of Clinical Competency and Job Responsibilities of Physical Therapists With and Without Postprofessional Training

CONCLUSION: Results from this paper demonstrate that residency- and fellowship-trained PTs have elements of higher self-perceived clinical competency and spend more of their job duties outside of direct patient care compared with PTs who were not residency or fellowship trained. These results may help guide PTs, academic institutions, and employers in planning and achieving specific career paths.PMID:38478789 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000295
