CFY Clinical Fellowship Year

Many people think skilled nursing facilities are only for end-of-life care, but that's a misconception. Our therapists work every day to help residents recover from surgeries, regain strength after illness, prevent falls, and stay independent in their daily lives. The goal is not just care; it's restoring function and improving quality of life . Supporting patients on their journey back home to a full and active life is truly a rewarding and fulfilling career .

Am I guaranteed 40 hours?

While we cannot guarantee hours, we are typically able to offer a full caseload. Majority of our facilities are in close proximity, allowing us to offer you additional hours at nearby locations.

How does corporate support the therapists on the floors?

Majority of our Regional Directors, as well as many corporate members, are therapists themselves. All of our Directors understand the constant challenge it is to meet the ever-changing demands of Medicare and insurance guidelines. Our clinical team provides thorough documentation training to ensure Clinical Fellows understand the importance of Medicare guidelines and regulations.

What type of mentorship or support do you provide for new grads?

We offer a comprehensive mentorship program to support new grads from day one. You'll be paired with an experienced therapist who will guide you through documentation, evaluations, treatment methods, and more. Our approach is tailored to your learning style, and as you gain confidence and begin working independently, your mentor and our clinical team will continue to provide support whenever needed.

Is there an opportunity to continue working at my facility as an SLP following the completion of my Clinical Fellowship Year?

We strive to offer our Clinical Fellows the opportunity to transition into a full-time SLP role upon successful completion of their Clinical Fellowship Year. While full-time opportunities depend on current openings at the facility, as new opportunities arise at any of our locations, we prioritize considering our former CFs based on their recent experience with us.
