Physical Therapy Gap Year Program
Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Who should apply: Graduated students (spring graduates) interested in pursuing a career in a medical/healthcare related field are encouraged to consider this opportunity. Specifically, this is an excellent experience for students planning a career as a physical therapist, physical therapy assistant, or occupational therapist who plan a “gap year” before matriculation to professional school. Interns will gain comprehensive education and experience in all aspects of clinical operations and workflow, not limited to patient education, rooming patients, learning billing procedures, and various other administrative responsibilities. Opportunities will also be provided to shadow procedures and receive mentoring by the Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine physical therapy team. This is a full‑time, one or two‑year, paid position. Some part‑time applicants with potential for transition to full‑time may be accepted on a case‑by‑case basis. We are hiring for Feb2026 and onward with 12‑24 month commitments. Requirements Please submit a resume and brief letter that highlights your qualifications and interest in the position. Remember to include any and all volunteer and prior internship experience. About Genesis: At Genesis, our goal is simple: free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies – accessible to everyone, not just the select few with the right commercial insurance. To accomplish this mission, we've reinvented the care delivery model, trying different ideas until we discovered a blueprint for delivering the high‑quality care our reputation was known for, while also making the prices more ethical and affordable. We're honored to report that, after much work, 75% of our patient base is Medicaid‑eligible patients, and we were recently included on the 2021 Inc.5000 list, making us one of the fastest‑growing privately held businesses in the United States. We were able to accomplish these both in tandem by combining a deep clinical expertise with a clear‑eyed administrative rethink about how we deliver care – all while remaining passionate about the mission and our patients. If you’re looking for a place with a strong mission and culture, and an opportunity to serve the underserved, we’d love to consider you for the team! This role will help us develop a physical therapy practice that will serve the underserved. We're excited to hear from you.
