Our residents have always been top-notch (i.e., our residency programs have a 96% first-time pass rate), but our 2023 residency graduates stepped up this year: All our 2023 Residency Graduates have passed their Sports and Orthopedic Board examination this year!
“We are so proud of their hard work during their residency year and the months following to pass this challenging exam,” Clinical Development Program Lead Jackie Davenport said. “A few other clinicians across the country also sat for these board exams in March, and I wish them big congrats.”
In Q1 of 2023, our Sports Medicine team was hard at work piloting the “One ATI Care Pathway.” It was an opportunity to empower our Athletic Trainers to use their expertise as MSK experts and to emphasize what Physical Therapists can do as primary care providers.
Even in the program’s early stages, it showed promise. Over 150 athletes benefitted from the care pathway at the onset, leading to it becoming a permanent fixture in August of 2023.
