Our Culture of Clinical Excellence
We are a clinical company committed to developing industry-leading clinicians specialized in outpatient physical and occupational services. Our commitment to clinical excellence starts with industry-leading continuing education courses and continues through structured clinical career tracks that inspire professional development and personal growth opportunities.
Clinical Excellence
Physical Therapy Clinic Life
The foundation of our physical therapy clinic culture is based upon our company’s mission: to inspire and empower the lives we touch, to serve our communities, and to lead with purpose driven passion. Our clinics are comprised of a Clinic Director (clinician), an Office Coordinator (support staff), and other supporting clinicians depending on the volume of patients in need of care.
Leadership Development
We are committed to the growth and success of our most valuable resources – our people and our communities! Upstream provides opportunities to clinicians who have a passion for leading others by providing leadership development training, mentoring, and career advancement through various clinical leadership roles.
Clinical Excellence
Clinically-superior care requires one-of-a-kind clinical development. Our industry-leading clinician development program provides evidence-based continuing education tracks and advanced certifications. Whether you desire the structure of a formalized residency program or you want to move at your own pace, we have you covered. Wherever you want your clinical goals to lead you, we will help you create the path to get you there.
Career Track Planning
Whether you are a new grad or an experienced clinician, Upstream gives you the tools and support for a successful physical therapy career. New graduate clinicians spend a full year of personal development, mentorship, and gradual caseload build-up to prepare for managing their caseload and providing superior clinical outcomes. Our more seasoned clinicians can choose to pursue areas of Leadership, Business, Teaching, Research, Advocacy, and Clinical Excellence.
Specialty Areas
Although our clinics may traditionally be known for outpatient orthopedics, many of our clinicians also choose to specialize in specific areas of physical and occupational therapy. We help train and educate these niche clinicians through continuing education to offer specialty services such as pediatrics, pelvic health, neurological rehab, lymphedema, sports, industrial rehab, and more!
Physical Therapy Professional Development
Advanced Certifications
The first step for most clinicians is to hone their clinical skills through the pursuit of advanced clinical training. Advanced certifications help us ensure access to quality healthcare for our patients across the country. Your advanced training can be geared towards manual therapy, vestibular rehab, pelvic floor therapy, sports and performance training, trigger point dry needling, lymphedema, wound care, modern pain science, or another niche that is identified as a passion! We offer formal and self-directed trainings by way of Residency and fellowship programs or individually paced coursework.
Clinic Director Development Program
We provide a structured Clinic Director Development program for our clinicians with a passion for leadership and who want an understanding of how our business fits into the general healthcare community. This hybrid program prepares our clinicians to lead a team of professionals to increase the influence in their community and start to understand clinical quality metrics and how they drive quality outcomes.
Accelerated Partnership Development Program
For our entrepreneurial clinicians who have always wanted to own their own business, we encourage you to partner with Upstream to reduce your risk and have the power of a large organization behind you. In this program, we will explore four main modules: Culture, finance, sales/marketing, and personal and professional growth.
Advanced Operations and Leaders Training
For our leaders who have mastered running a clinic and have successfully opened a new clinic, we take a deep dive into leadership development by way of 4 modules: Organization and time management, finance and measuring operational success, growth, and growing a winning team. This training is in person and led by the regional leadership team.
