Contribute to staff development, scheduling, and quality improvement

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Active California PT License

Minimum 2 years of outpatient orthopedic experience (required for CI eligibility) APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor (CCI) certification — or willingness to obtain within 6 months

Experience or strong interest in supervising PT students
