Mentorships
Our work environment is one of support and encouragement. Our mentorships build confidence and culture, as well as help us maintain consistent, high quality care. We have active relationships with colleges and universities across the region.

Loan Assistance for New Graduates
We recognize that many new therapists enter the career field with sizable loan obligations. Our loan assistance program helps eligible part-time and full-time physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists get a strong start in a new workplace. We determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis, based on organizational need, specific case justification, and budget limitations.

• Full-time therapists can receive up to $300 per month, up to three years, with a lifetime maximum of $10,800 (based on the amount actually due to the lending institution).
• Part-time therapists can receive up to $150 per month, up to three years, with a lifetime maximum of $5,400 (based on the amount actually due to the lending institution).
• You must have graduated from an official OT/PT/SP program within the last six months of hire date with Riverside. Our Talent Recruitment team can tell you about other eligibility guidelines and requirements or provide a copy of the agreement that you will be required to sign.
