DANKMEYER RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Thank you for your interest in our residency program.
We are no longer taking applications for the 2023-2024 cycle.
Below is an overview of our program, please let us know if you have any questions.
At Dankmeyer, our primary goal for residents is to provide them with ample opportunities to learn and work towards becoming successful CPOs, who can provide quality, multidisciplinary patient care in an efficient manner. The Dankmeyer residency program is unique in the multitude of locations, clinics, mentors, and populations you will have a chance to work with.
The first quarter will be spent in a technical rotation to understand and participate in the fabrication of orthotic and prosthetic devices from start to finish. The remaining quarters will be spent in direct patient care. Our resident will rotate through several of our locations in order to gain exposure to different patient populations. We have multiple offices across Maryland and additional offsite clinic locations. Our resident will attend multidisciplinary clinics, including those at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Kennedy Krieger Institute, University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Institute, and Sinai Hospital. Specialty clinics we engage with are: pediatric orthotics, pediatric prosthetics, spinal cord injury (both adult and pediatric), and several orthotic and prosthetic PM&R clinics.
We also have opportunities for residents who are interested in teaching. We regularly provide O&P education at the University of Maryland and University of Delaware physical therapy programs as well as provide continuing education for Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and other members of patient care teams in our region. Dankmeyer co-hosts the Amputee Walking School several times a year, giving additional hands-on exposure to amputee gait training.
With the many opportunities available and the complex patients we see, the residency will be challenging but rewarding. We will be here as a team to help support and guide you through the process of learning.
We offer one residency position will be offered per cycle.
We offer three paths in our residency program, but please only apply to the one that best matches your residency goals.
-If this is your first residency, please choose our 18-month dual disclipline clinical program.
-If you have already completed residency in one discipline, please select the appropriate single discipline 12-month program.
