SLU SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Graduate Dr. Timothy McArthur Encourages Mentorship During Residency

Shining a Spotlight on the SLU SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Graduates
Timothy James McArthur, PT, DPT, ATC (SLU SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Graduate)

Dr. McArthur is a practicing physical therapist in Colorado Springs, CO. He earned his DPT degree from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.

Here are only some of the many highlights of connecting with Dr. McArthur about his residency experience and practice as a physical therapist…

on the practice of physical therapy: The "way you practice and how you interact/care for patients" is what defines you as a physical therapist."

...and lessons learned from the residency. On the importance of self-reflection, it "helps you improve your overall clinical judgement to ensure patients are being progressed appropriately during the course of their plan of care."

Dr. McArthur's advice to those considering residency education: "Everyone's experience with residency is different and definitely varies greatly across the board. I would say having a resource of mentors/staff that would be flexible in their curriculum to fit your learning style is essential in your success of residency."
The SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Program is an accelerated post-licensure program to advance the orthopedic skills of physical therapists. It is the only ABPTRFE accredited orthopedic physical therapy residency in Missouri. Founded and accredited in 2014-2015, this unique collaboration between Saint Louis University Program in Physical Therapy and SSM Health Physical Therapy currently has 3 Residents and has graduated 16 licensed physical therapists.

  5. Even on your first visit, put on comfortable clothing and shoes with non-skid soles. Your therapist may move the painful joint to assess how well it functions, or they may observe how you walk, get out of a chair, or do other actions. They will watch you perform any exercises they give you to undertake at home to ensure proper form.
