Definition of a Fellowship ProgramA clinical fellowship, is a planned program of post-professional clinical and classroom education for physical therapists who demonstrate clinical expertise, prior to commencing the program, in a learning experience in an area of clinical practice related to the practice focus of the fellowship. Fellows are frequently post-residency prepared or board-certified specialists. A fellowship program must possess a curriculum that: 1) is focused, with advanced clinical and didactic instruction within a subspecialty area of practice; 2) is intensive and includes extensive mentored clinical experience; and, 3) provides a sufficient and appropriate patient population to create an environment for advanced clinical skill building. (As defined by the APTA)

PhilosophyAttitudes and beliefs about the quality of life, nature of health and illness, and a person’s right to reach life’s full potential are implicit in our philosophical tenets. As an organization, we proactively work to maintain, improve, or restore dignity and health through the delivery of quality rehabilitation services. A pursuit of excellence, as well as a commitment to service and the helping process, enables the rehabilitation professional to function as an integral part of the health care team.

With this intent, the focus of the residency/fellowship education becomes dynamic and diverse. The educational process involves active, responsible participation by both faculty and residents/fellows. Through an exemplary quest for advanced skill in educational and professional

practice, each member of the residency/fellowship faculty becomes a role model and guide. The resident/fellow must also accept responsibility to develop and grow professionally to the full extent possible. We believe the combination of experience, scholarship, and opportunity embedded in the residency/fellowship programs will enable the residents/fellows to assume responsibility for the health care needs of individuals and society. For these reasons, the Brooks Rehabilitation/UNF Residency/Fellowship Program is committed to promoting a respect for human dignity and a quest for excellence. The curriculum is designed to impart to the resident/fellow the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to function as an academic, clinical, and professional leader within health care.

Residency/Fellowship MissionTo develop highly skilled, compassionate, evidence based rehabilitation practitioners who provide excellent patient management within specialty areas of clinical practice.

Residency/Fellowship Program Goals1. To support the mission, vision and values of Brooks Rehabilitation, and to improve the quality of care provided to the patients/clients served by highly accomplished advanced practitioners.2. To be a nationally recognized provider for post-professional clinical training within the area of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and rehabilitation nursing.3. To receive and maintain credentialing recognition from the APTA and other discipline-specific accrediting bodies, for the Residency and Fellowship programs we develop and implement.

Who is Eligible to Apply for a Fellowship Program?Since a fellowship is an advanced level of training that is focused on a sub-specialty of a larger specialty area of practice, the expectation is that an individual would have completed a residency within a specialty area of practice that coincides with the sub-specialty focus of the fellowship program. An individual could also demonstrate, via a professional portfolio, that their professional development experiences over a period of time have provided them with the level of learning and skill formation associated with performance of a formal residency program. Individuals interested in pursuing this route should contact the Brooks Residency/Fellowship Manager to learn more about the specifics of the professional portfolio development process.

Fellowship Program InfrastructureThis program is 1 year in length and the individuals enrolled in this program will be practicing within Brooks Rehabilitation during the course of the program. The primary training offered within this program will consist of three components that include didactic/psychomotor classes, clinical mentoring and supervision, and directed learning activities. Success in the program will be measured by both written and practical exams as well as grading of other activities that will be requirements within the program.
