Build a Strong Career Foundation
Onboarding
From the moment you join our team, we’ll be working to make sure that you have a great start! Before your first day, our team will reach out to align with you on your schedule, your hours, and to answer any critical questions (from team dynamics to the best places for lunch!). We’ll also be blocking your schedule, creating time for you to meet with your teammates, and going through your first-week plan.
Once you’ve officially started, your first day is all about feeling comfortable. We’ll be training you on our systems, technology, compliance, and approach to care and scheduling. Rest assured – there will not be a full case load waiting for you!
Throughout your first four weeks, you’ll be shadowing teammates, practicing documentation, and slowly building up your caseload.
For the first 12-weeks, you’ll have a highly structured onboarding program that provides designated times for you to ask questions, build a relationship with your manager and team, expand your clinical knowledge, and get into a comfortable rhythm.
Mentorship
Strong mentorship is more than having someone to discuss your questions with, it’s an opportunity have open conversations about your clinical skills, concerns, aspirations, and development – while learning from someone who is invested in your success.
We’ve found that structure is key to facilitating a successful mentorship program:
- First 90 Days: You’ll have dedicated weekly meetings with your mentor to review cases, discuss clinical questions, and talk through any concerns.
- 90 Days – 6 Months: You’ll have a structured review of 11 body regions to discuss common conditions, evaluation approaches, and treatment techniques.
- 6 Months – 1 Year: As Mentor and Mentee, you’ll develop a regular meeting pulse to discuss challenging cases, specialties, goals, and career development and advice.
Based on your preferences, this program can last 6 months to 2 years!

Best-in-Class Continuing Education
We’re committed to developing and providing the best continuing education opportunity in the country. Our approach to continuing education ensures that our entire team has a core orthopedic understanding and are positioned to pursue their areas of passion.
Internal Continuing Education Program:
The foundation of our Continuing Education Program is the Orthopedic Specialty Series (“OSS”). While it serves as a precursor to the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) designation, it’s a fantastic starting point for all PTs. Learn more about the OSS!
Our Orthopedic Specialty Series consists of five modules with didactic and lab-based components, including:
- Lower Extremity
- Upper Extremity
- Cervical Spine
- Lumbar Spine
- Thoracic (elective)
In addition to the Orthopedic Specialty Series, we offer a continuing education and certification series throughout the year:
- Dry Needling Certification – Level 1 and Level 2
- Blood Flow Restriction
- Manual Therapy Techniques
- And more
We also offer monthly, virtual continuing education courses taught by David Nolan (Northeastern University), Terry Pratt (NAIOMPT Fellow), and Kevin Pozzi (Johnson & Wales University).
External Continuing Education Program:
In addition to our internal Continuing Education Program, we also offer access to external continuing education programs.
Every team member has a $500 stipend to use for external continuing education and can exceed that with approval. This allows team members to begin exploring specialties and further develop their clinical interests.
Group Learning:
In addition to our Internal and External Program, we sponsor Special Interest Groups and Journal Clubs to facilitate exploration and development. By bringing together our team to discuss areas of interest, we all have the opportunity to learn from each other and explore the latest literature.

I value my ability to deliver the care my patients need. As a PT-led company, we are empowered to focus on the needs of our patients. This provides me with so much freedom to be creative and it also strengthens the engagement of my patients in their care.
Jessica S.
I chose a career in physical therapy because I truly love helping people. Having grown up in Nashua and now working in Bedford, I feel like I am doing my part to create healthier communities. Seeing my patients progress from being in severe pain to returning to their favorite activities is extremely rewarding.
Kate C.
I love to learn, and at MVPT I am surrounded by a team that works together to make patients feel comfortable, while also providing great care. I receive plenty of mentoring from our Managing Partner. In addition, the continuing education courses (including lab sessions!) mean that I will continue to grow my skills so I can always give my patients the best possible care.
Lee S.
I joined MVPT in 2021 when my employer, Greater Brunswick Physical Therapy (GBPT) partnered with them. I was very happy with GBPT and found that despite MVPT being a much larger company, their core values and patient-centric care model aligned very well. As a physical therapist at MVPT, I can continue providing 1-on-1 patient care, which was very important to me. In addition, they have encouraged and supported me on my growth as a physical therapist. I was able to quickly move from staff PT to lead PT and now to clinic manager. I am very happy to be a member of the MVPT team.
