Residency History
Until 2011, this program was known as NHMI's Athletic Training Fellowship.
In 1993 we had visions of developing a program that would promote an educational atmosphere in our clinic and utilize all of the outstanding resources that our clinic and surrounding area had to offer. A system of rotations was built around professional volunteers in a wide range of sports related fields, and combined with physical therapy clinic work experience to create this Residency.
We accepted our first Fellow for 1994-1995 -- Rebecca Lindsay, ATC from nearby Vermont. Over the years, residents have come from many states and even three different countries including the United States, Canada and Japan. After six years of having one resident annually, the program grew to include two annual residents. While most incoming residents have completed only undergraduate work, several have come to the residency after having completed Masters degrees. Most of our residency alumni are working full time in the healthcare field and several have achieved or are currently pursuing advanced degrees. Among our alums are high school, college and clinical ATs, athletic training educators, DPTs, PA-Cs, an ARNP and a physician. Click here for a complete listing of past and current Residents.
The program has been updated and honed over the years and we continue to evaluate and make changes as necessary. Click here to see the Residency Faculty and rotation information. Residents are also exposed to the research process and have participated in projects at varying levels with several publishing and presenting research abstracts and going on to become authors on full papers. Past research topic areas have included joint hypermobility, hamstring stretching and emergency management of football equipment.
