Description and Progression through the Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship Program

Bellin College’s OMPT Fellowship is an evolution of the highly regarded Evidence in Motion™ (EIM) OMPT Fellowship which has been a hallmark of the physical therapy profession in elevating clinical leadership. The AAOMPT/ACOMPTE-credentialed Fellowship in Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy helps therapists gain the highest-level skills in the integration of advanced manual physical therapy techniques, educating students and fellow PT’s, performing clinic-based research, and leading in the business of PT.

The Bellin College OMPT Fellowship program is a 40-credit, flexible, cost-effective, and achievable program from a work/life balance perspective. This program can be paced to accommodate personal life and spread over 2 to 4 years. Data demonstrates that past Fellows perform in the top 10% of the profession (based on Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes™ scores). Graduates are primed for leadership in the teaching of orthopaedic manual physical therapy, as well as active participation and contribution to clinical research.

The Fellowship is accomplished through a dynamic fusion of didactic, collaborative, and clinical education experiences using a combination of distance learning, online courses, weekend intensive hands-on courses, and clinical practice hours.
