Curriculum
The one-year residency curriculum provides 1:1 mentoring across the continuum of care, including neuro ICU and acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient physical therapy, and community-based health/wellness services. Most didactic work will be completed through the MedBridge’s NCS Prep Program , supplemented by in-person discussions and selected, independent readings. In addition, our individualized program provides varying experience in teaching, research, and service in partnership with the UAB Department of Physical Therapy and the UAB-Lakeshore Research Collaborative, and local pro bono clinics.
