Women’s and Pelvic Health Residency Program

Our goal is to provide a high level of physical therapy treatment of gender specific conditions to the community, Ochsner Health is pleased to host a post-graduate residency program to develop advanced practitioners in the field of women’s and pelvic health. The program will focus on presenting the most current, evidence-based curriculum possible, while providing mentorship by highly trained, board-certified therapists, and collaborating with some of the most well-respected physicians in our region. The program will be a full-time, 13-month learning experience, combing didactic curriculum, clinical practice, structured mentorship, and physician collaboration.

The Ochsner Women’s Health Physical Therapy Residency Program is an accredited program through the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE), making it the only Women’s and Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Residency Program in the Gulf Coast Region.
