3 Overview The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) accredits residency and fellowship programs for physical therapists through the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency & Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE), a 7-member body appointed by the APTA Board of Directors. Program Data Since APTA began accrediting residency and fellowship programs in 1999, the growth of programs has continued to increase steadily through the years, with a sharper rate of increase noted since (Figure 1) Figure 1.

5 Program Applicant Trends In September 2013, APTA established the Residency/Fellowship Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (RF- PTCAS) in an effort to simplify the application process for prospective residents and fellows as well as to facilitate the admission process for residency and fellowship education programs. The RF-PTCAS admissions cycle runs from October 1 through August 31 of the following year. Tables 4 through 7 outline the growth in program participation in RF-PTCAS, applicants, and applications to residency and fellowship programs. Table 4.

Those applicants were considered unique for their first RF-PTCAS application submitted and again for their first non-cas application submitted. However, these applicants were only counted once within the total unique applications for all applications filed (both RF-PTCAS and non-cas programs).

17 *there were no unknown admission outcomes during the admission cycle. During the analysis, total residency program positions were compared against the number of unique applicants that were accepted and matriculated into a residency program along with the number of unique applicants that programs identified as qualified applicants but no available position. The results demonstrate that during the application cycle, there were not enough residency positions within the acute care, cardiovascular and pulmonary, faculty, pediatric, sports, and would management specialties and that additional program growth is needed in these areas. In contrast, the orthopaedic residency area demonstrated that is had a surplus of 151 positions meaning there were more positions available than qualified and/or interested applicants. Figure 5 summarizes the deficits and surplus positions for each residency area of practice. Figure 5. Additional Residency Positions Required to Fulfill Applicant Needs Acute Care Cardiovascular & Pulmonary 7 4 Clinical Electrophysiology -5 Faculty 4 Geriatrics Neurology Orthopaedics -151 Pediatrics 47 Sports 69 Women's Health -1 Wound Management When reviewing the raw applicant data, it was noted by APTA staff that some residency programs during the application cycle did not receive a sufficient number of applicants to fill all positions available at that program. At the same time, other residency programs received an exhaustive amount of applications and were not able to accept all qualified applicants as all positions at that program were filled. Reasoning as to why qualified applicants did not apply to programs with unfilled positions has yet to be determined. Future analysis on applicant trends related to these gaps would be useful. Fellowship-Specific Applicant Outcomes During the application cycle, there were a total of 54 fellowship programs that held accreditation or candidate status.

20 During the analysis, total fellowship program positions were compared against the number of unique applicants that were accepted and matriculated into a fellowship program along with the number of unique applicants that programs identified as qualified applicants but no available position. The results demonstrate that during the application cycle, there were not enough fellowship positions within the hand therapy, higher education leadership, movement system, performing arts, sports division 1, and upper extremity athlete subspecialties and that additional program growth is needed in these areas. In contrast, the orthopaedic manual physical therapy fellowship area demonstrated that is had a surplus of 196 positions meaning there were more positions available than qualified and/or interested applicants. Figure 8 summarizes the deficits and surplus positions for each fellowship area of practice. Figure 8.

Reasoning as to why qualified applicants did not apply to programs with unfilled positions has yet to be determined. Future analysis on applicant trends related to these gaps would be useful. Residency/Fellowship Accredited Program Graduate Data Since 1999, there have been 5659 physical therapists that graduated from accredited residency and fellowship programs.

From 2006 through 2013, examination passing rates were provided in summary and not by specialty area. Table 11 provides a comparison of the board certification examination passing rates for first time test takers for those individuals who were residency graduates versus non-residency graduates.
