Physical Therapist
I joined our Ohio State campus location team in 2007. I am the coordinator for the Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency program, a post professional educational program for physical therapists pursuing a specialization in orthopedics, where I am involved with mentoring and professional skill development of the residents.
I hold an appointment as a lecturer the Division of Physical Therapy at Ohio State, teaching musculoskeletal labs, where I am able to combine my interest in education with outpatient sports medicine and orthopedics.
I am a member and have committee responsibilities in the American Physical Therapy Association.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/3/2025, Melissa Kidder has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
