Working as a physical therapist at Rush comes with plenty of rewards. As a prestigious medical center, Rush blends education, research and patient care, while serving the needs of an exciting, diverse city. We bring our diverse backgrounds and expertise to share in a greater purpose for our patients. We assist in the restoration of our patients’ motion and functional skills, treating each with an evidenced-based approach, compassion and dignity.
Whether the physical therapist works in acute care, inpatient rehab, outpatient or pediatrics, we provide professional growth and development with a supportive career ladder, and opportunities in specialty areas like NICU, women’s health and pelvic floor, vestibular, hemophiliac, prosthetics and leading-edge orthopedics and neurosurgery. Rush recognizes the physical therapist as the expert in the mechanics of human motion. The Medical Center fosters an environment of inquiry, knowledge and teamwork, and our physical therapists thrive on it. We are proud to be a participant in a Multicenter NIH study for Traumatic Brain Injury, using a Practice-Based Evidence approach. Our team of physical therapists throughout the Medical Center has the opportunity to witness the difference they make each day.
