Learn more about Pacific Medical O&P...

• What makes our residency program unique:
  • Pacific Medical’s Residency Program includes trips to our headquarters in Tracy, CA, to shadow physicians and surgeons in our private cadaver lab – the largest cadaver lab on the West Coast. These labs include exposure to our biologics and injectables, along with education on shoulder and knee arthroscopies with our Stryker Surgical partners. In addition, we hold an annual education event, which includes a vendor hall and continuing education from various experts.
• Our approach to resident training:
  • Our approach is consistent with NCOPEs mission and goals, with an emphasis on compassionate and compliant healthcare. Our goal is to prepare each resident for the rigors of our field, including clinical and technical expertise, governmental and private payer pressure, documentation compliance, and the emerging demand for evidence/outcome based medicine.
• Locations:
  • Residents have the opportunity to rotate through several locations which are located in:
    • Oregon
    • California
    • Washington

• Mentors/Clinical Staff:
  • With 25 patient care facilities (PCFs) and nearly fifty prosthetic/orthotic professional team members, each resident will have the opportunity to travel or telecommunicate as needed to ensure the most robust training possible.  The manager of the Salem, OR location is a young progressive clinician actively involved with outcome based prosthetic care and the lead clinician/mentor in Portland, OR is a seasoned clinician with a strong background in pediatric orthotics via the Shriners healthcare system.
• Fabrication/Manufacturing Opportunities:
  • Our emphasis is geared toward a clinical experience. Each PCF has some level of fabrication ability, including plaster modification, simple vacuum forming, and the ability to repair/adjust devices. Each PCF has the necessary tools and equipment to provide appropriate care for patients. A few sites have full fabrication capability, but most rely on outsourcing for complex jobs, including laminations and TLSOs.
• Qualified Applicants:
  • Any prospective resident must first share in our belief that culture and teamwork is the foundation for our success. While there are always challenges with any profession, our mantra is “choose the harder road”. We encourage our teammates to act with respect and professionalism at all times, take chances, work hard, and enjoy the ride!
• Additional Training and Future Employment:
  • Residents who pursue a separate orthotic residency are encouraged to stay on for their second residency in prosthetics.
