The Hruska Clinic staff specializes in providing our patients with an individualized program based on the science and application of PRI principles. Our clinic also often helps manage complex patient presentations which often require collaborative care with other health professionals. Any resident of the Hruska Clinic will have the opportunity to work not only with experienced experts in PRI application, but will gain experience in direct one on one management and collaboration with other health professionals which will help them learn how to communicate, treat, and establish positive relationships with other healthcare practitioners.
We require a minimum of 8 weeks from the date of application submission until your residency program can begin. This will give our staff time to review your application and determine the best fit for the primary therapist you will train under. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Although we currently intend to have one resident per year at our clinic, we will consider additional residents on a case by case basis.
