36 - Inside Mary Free Bed's PT Residencies: Mentorship, Growth and Exceptional Patient Care
This episode of Rehabilitationships takes listeners inside Mary Free Bed’s Physical Therapy Residency Programs through a conversation originally recorded as a livestream.
At Mary Free Bed, we believe exceptional patient care starts with exceptional clinicians. In this episode, we sit down with Christy Olgine-Bolt, orthopedic residency coordinator, Bo Smith, a graduate of our pediatric physical therapy residency, and Adam Gutting, a current neurologic physical therapy resident, to discuss what residency training is really like.
Together, we explore why physical therapists choose to pursue an additional year of advanced training, how expert mentorship shapes clinical decision-making, and the role evidence-based practice, teaching and interdisciplinary collaboration play in developing specialized rehabilitation expertise. The conversation also highlights how these experiences help clinicians better serve patients and families while preparing them for leadership in their profession.
Whether you're a physical therapist considering a residency program, a student exploring career opportunities, or simply interested in the expertise behind rehabilitation at Mary Free Bed, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the commitment to learning, growth and clinical excellence that helps us restore hope and freedom through rehabilitation.
