Special Features
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation residency provides a comprehensive foundation in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with neurologic, musculoskeletal, and disabling conditions across the continuum of care. Residents gain extensive experience in inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, electrodiagnostic medicine, sports and musculoskeletal medicine, spasticity management, pain, pediatric rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary team-based care within both academic and community-based settings. A supportive, collaborative learning environment fosters professional growth, wellness, and a healthy work-life balance. Graduates are well-prepared to enter independent practice as compassionate, highly skilled physiatrists.
