Physical Therapist (PT) Clinical Director, Easton, Maryland

We are searching for a full-time Physical Therapist - CLINICAL DIRECTOR in our Easton, Maryland office. Great Opportunity to develop your your leadership skills! Yearly bonuses available. Come work with our exceptional team in beautiful, historic Easton, Maryland.

You run the clinic. Not the paperwork for the clinic, the clinic.

Aquacare and Fitness Forum Physical Therapy is a physical-therapist-owned private practice, independent for 27+ years, with 12 clinics across Maryland and Delaware. This is the job for a clinician who wants to build something and still keep their hands on patients.

What the job actually is

The Clinic Director is the CEO of their clinic. You own its performance: the quality of care that goes out the door, the patient experience from the front desk to discharge, the financial and operational health of the site, and the people who work there.

You are also the clinic's chief culture officer. Whether your team is engaged, supported, and doing the best work of their careers is your responsibility more than anyone else's. Our clinicians stay because of the practice they work in, and the person who shapes that practice is you.

You will not do it alone. You work with our leadership and support team on billing, marketing, hiring, and operations, and you have direct access to the owner. When something needs solving, you are expected to bring it forward and help build the answer rather than wait for one.

The offer, in numbers

• 95K to 110K base salary, depending on experience
• $5,000 at signing, additional bonuses yearly
• Fewer than 11 patients per day, one-on-one, no productivity quota
• Four-day or five-day weeks, and you help set your hours
• $1,000 per year for continuing education (more for specialties)
• License renewal reimbursement
• Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification, paid in full
• 120 hours of PTO to start, growing with tenure, plus 6 paid holidays
• 401(k) with 4% match to begin at 3 months
• Medical, dental, vision, FSA, disability, and supplemental insurance
• Student loan assistance of $5,000, per year, paid pre-tax.

Your day

You will treat, not just evaluate. Roughly 30 minutes of scheduled non-treatment time is built into each day, and documentation runs through Prompt EMR with AI-assisted notes. 93% of our clinicians finish their notes during working hours.

You still treat

This is the question every clinician asks about a director role, so here is the answer up front: Yes. You keep a real caseload. You work in the clinic and have hours set aside for your admin work.

You will work alongside 6-8 therapists and additional PTAs, techs. Our therapy pools are either on-site or nearby within the community. Caseload is general outpatient orthopedics with a genuine mix of ages and diagnoses. Others in this office specialize in pelvic floor, women’s health, aquatics, sports, and more.

Where you can specialize

We want you to get good at something specific, and we pay for it. Orthopedics, manual therapy, pain science, dry needling, pelvic floor, lymphedema, aquatic therapy, balance and vestibular, neurologic rehabilitation, dance rehabilitation, or sports rehabilitation through Aquacare Athletics, are all options for you.

Several of these are hard to find anywhere else. If you want to build a career in orthopedics, pelvic floor, or aquatic therapy in this region, there is essentially one place to do it – Aquacare and Fitness Forum.

Your first five years

• Getting started. A named mentor, scheduled weekly meetings, and case review with clinical leadership for your first year.
• Year one. Your first certification, paid, in whichever specialty you and your mentor pick.
• Years two and three. Sit for the OCS on us, enter our in-house 12-month orthopedic residency, or start taking students as a certified clinical instructor. The retention bonuses land here.
• Year five. Clinic director, program lead, or build a specialty program from scratch. We promote from within, and several of our directors started here as new grads.

What we are not

You will treat post-surgical knees, lymphedema, vestibular cases, pelvic floor, and plenty of people in their seventies who want to get back to their garden.

This isn’t a typical gym-style PT environment where patients are handed exercises and therapists move on to the next person. At Aquacare/Fitness Forum, you’ll spend meaningful one-on-one time with your patients, providing hands-on care and individualized treatment. If you want the clinical variety, you will find it here!
