Congratulations to Athletico’s Newest Board-Certified Specialists

At Athletico, our clinicians undergo advanced training and pursue certifications for the experience and education necessary to provide our patients with the highest standard of care. For this reason, we take a moment to recognize the clinicians committed to their education and practice in becoming board-certified as Orthopaedic Clinical Specialists (OCS) or Sports Clinical Specialists (SCS). These credentials are designated by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) to those who have successfully become board-certified clinical specialists working with orthopaedic or sports diagnoses.

Athletico proudly offers our clinicians orthopaedic and sports residency programs through our long-lasting partnership with Evidence in Motion (EIM). EIM represents a “first-in-class” environment for prospective residents to receive the highest caliber of training to become distinguished leaders in evidence-based orthopaedic and sports practice. Whether residency or self-study, each pathway is followed by a board-specialty examination to demonstrate expertise in the respective area. Congratulations to Athletico’s newest board-certified orthopaedic and sports specialists!
