Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency

The Northwestern University & Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency is accredited by the American Physical Therapy Association as a post-professional residency program for physical therapists in neurologic physical therapy.

We aim to:

• Serve as a training ground and model for the specialized practice of neurologic physical therapy in the 21st century.
• Foster an ability-driven, outcomes-based professional culture committed to the integration of science-based clinical reasoning and clinical care.
• Spark a lifelong interest in learning and research.
