Job description

Train Like a Resident. Get Paid Like a Professional.

Most new grads who want to specialize in sports face a trade: take a residency and live on a stipend, or take a full salary and piece together mentorship, sideline hours, and exam prep alone. The Sports Mastery Track removes the trade.

HIDEF Physical Therapy is one of the fastest growing private practices in the country, and we're redefining physical therapy in the Pacific Northwest. If you do your best work in true 1:1 care, thrive with motivated athletes, and want to be surrounded by people who hold the same standard, we should talk.

About the Role

You'll join HIDEF as a full-time physical therapist, with the same salary and commission structure as every HIDEF new grad, while completing a 12-month curriculum modeled on the top accredited sports residencies. Around your caseload, the track builds in:

• 150 structured 1:1 mentorship blocks, in-clinic and virtual, guaranteed

• 200 hours of venue coverage, including sideline work with Bigfoot FC (USL League Two and USL W)

• Surgical observation hours

• SCS exam prep, with study materials and exam fees covered by HIDEF

• Teaching and scholarship reps, plus emergency care certification

The track is engineered around Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) board certification through ABPTS. You'll qualify through the direct patient care route, and we map your hours from day one so you're application-ready on the fastest realistic timeline: about 24 months from your start date to sitting for the exam.

This is a demanding year. Expect 40-45 hours a week between patient care and track work.

What You Get

An environment built for great clinical work:

• 45-minute visits so every client gets your full, focused attention

• True 1:1 care with no double-booking, ever

• Bi-weekly clinical training with a team that pushes everyone to sharpen

• Leadership development with a clear path if you want to grow into it

• Engaged clients: athletes and active people committed to getting back in action

Pay and benefits that back it up:

Compensation is a base salary plus commission based on visits seen, with added performance bonuses. It's how we reward great clinicians.

• [$85,000 base;( $90,000 to $100,000 typical total with commission)

• 401(k) eligibility at 1 year

• $1,000+ annual CE budget plus hosted courses, on top of covered SCS costs

• Medical, dental, and vision through Regence BCBS, with tiered Gold, Silver, and Bronze options and a HIDEF premium offset up to $275

• PTO starting at 80 hours and scaling with tenure, plus 40 hours of sick leave

• Paid holidays

What We Look For

We hire carefully, because culture is the product. The track is open to a limited cohort each year. The people who thrive here are:

1. Selfless and flexible: prioritize the team and adapt as needed

2. Enthusiastic: bring energy and positivity every day

3. Compassionate: show genuine care for patients and coworkers

4. Resilient: push through challenges with determination

5. Consistent: deliver high standards of work and behavior daily
