The 36 months of direct training in PM&R combine inpatient and outpatient experiences. Inpatient specialty units include Traumatic Brain Injury, Cardiopulmonary Rehab, Stroke, Pediatrics, Orthopaedics and Spinal Cord Injury.

Management of inpatient clinical rotations includes responsibility for admission histories and physicals, orchestration of multidisciplinary team conferences, family teaching, and discharge planning (including discharge summaries), as well as related clinics.

Outpatient rotations focus on Pain Management, Electrodiagnostic Evaluation, Sports Medicine, Pediatrics, Occupational Medicine, Rheumatology, Prosthetics and Orthotics, and Electives.

As a resident advances, he/she becomes increasingly involved in teaching and supervision of junior residents and medical students.

Senior residents are exposed to administrative skills related to unit management and program scheduling, as well as general office, committee, and hospital practices.

Resident call is rotated among the PGY-2 and PGY-3 level residents. On the average, call is every fourth week. Call responsibilities include admission work-ups and inpatient management, and can be managed from home by telephone or beeper (in most cases). Weekend and holiday call includes daily inpatient rounds with the attending on call. Holiday call is also rotated among the PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents.

Residents experience a well-rounded curriculum inclusive of both didactic and clinical training and are well prepared for entering the practice of PM&R with either a clinical or academic emphasis.
