The 6th Annual Virtual Residency Fair, hosted by the Student Special Interest Group (SSIG) of the Academy of Pelvic Health, will feature presentations from a variety of Women's Health Physical Therapy residency programs. Each program will have 10-15 minutes to present, followed by a Q&A session with program representatives. During their presentations, program directors will cover key details, including the length of their residency, how many residents are accepted each application cycle, and the breakdown of clinical hours versus educational hours. They will also discuss the primary patient populations residents will work with, highlight what makes their program unique, and share important dates such as the application deadline and start date. This is a valuable opportunity for prospective residents to get a detailed look at multiple programs and ask questions directly to those leading them.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand the structure, timeline, and key details of various Women's Health PT residency programs
2. Engage in Q&A sessions to gain insights from program directors and current residents
