Overview

There’s no question that residencies and fellowships help develop sports physical therapists’ abilities for advanced competencies in the field. These programs allow professionals to develop their skills under the mentorship of a recognized clinical expert. Residencies and fellowships require the dedication of many hours of time toward the program...something that can be difficult to arrange in the post-graduate world. The Sports Academy is here to assist!

The AASPT is pleased to present the Kevin Wilk Traveling Fellowship.

Fellows apply and are selected to spend 7-10 days traveling to three educational sites, spending two to three days each with noted leaders in our field. At each site, fellows will be involved in various activities:

• Observation of the host therapist in the clinic
• Surgery observation
• Didactic component
• Social activities to expand the fellows’ professional network

Up to six AASPT members may participate each year (three in the fall and another three in the spring) at no cost out of pocket. AASPT will provide selected fellows with the following:

• Airfare to/from home city to each site (AASPT will book travel for you)
• Lodging at each fellowship location (AASPT will book lodging for you)
• Transportation costs to/from host sites, hotels, and airports (AASPT will reimburse for reasonable expenses for travel)
• Meals during the fellowship (AASPT will reimburse for reasonable expense for travel; more details will be shared with finalists)
