Be the rule and not the exception. Obviously no one has a crystal ball nor do we know how the health care landscape will look in 2020/2021, but it is interesting to think that residencies would possibly be a requirement.
For practicing PTs who have done a residency and/or fellowship do you truly believe that it advanced your practice skills and prep for Boards(i.e. OCS, NCS). Also, did/does completing a residency make you look more attractive to employers or augment one's starting salary because of the expertise you gained through the extra training. I know that Pharmacy and Dentistry are moving in a direction where more ppl are considering a residency to make themselves more attractive. I also know that Podiatry has made their residency requirements mandatory, so it now takes as long to become a DPM as it does a MD/DO. Just wondering. Thought?
