In 2008, AthletiCo and Evidence in Motion partnered to provide an orthopedic clinical residency program for post-professional education. By completing the orthopedic clinical residency program, clinicians advance their knowledge and skills to provide exceptional Physical Therapy to their patients. As well, they are well prepared to sit for the national orthopedic certification specialty exam and become credentialed orthopedic clinic specialists (OCS). Since the inception of this program, AthletiCo is proud to now have 17 clinicians from the following AthletiCo facilities who are credentialed orthopedic clinic specialists.
- Andersonville
- Bucktown
- Garfield Ridge/Midway
- LaGrange
- Lincoln Park/Lakeview

- Schaumburg
- St. Charles
- West Loop
- Willowbrook
OCS-credentialed clinicians at AthletiCo play in integral role in the Orthopedic Clinical Residency program by providing residents with 140 hours of one-on-one clinical mentoring. They are clinical leaders who facilitate a true clinical mentoring process for those clinicians interested in advancing their clinical knowledge and making the commitment to the Orthopedic Residency Program.
These 17 clinicians have been involved in analyzing the most recent evidence-based research to support care for their patients. In addition, they have also advanced their skills in manual therapy throughout the program to provide the best in skilled, hands-on care with direct clinical reasoning. By the end of the program, these clinicians have learned what works best for the care of their patients and apply it daily.
