Tolchin, MD, EdM; Ravi Kasi, MD. Created December 2019. Last updated: June 2024  \nWhat is a career like within Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?  \n• Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (also known as PM&R or Physiatry) is an exciting and diverse field. There are many different practice settings – inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient clinic, inpatient consultations, procedures, diagnostic testing. PM&R physicians see many different patient populations. Some physiatrists have more general practices and take care of patients with a range of conditions. Other physiatrists choose to subspecialize into fields such as musculoskeletal medicine, sports medicine, pain medicine, pediatric rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation (such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke), cardiac rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation, performing arts medicine, amputee medicine, neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, and wound care. Career options exist in research, private practice settings, and academia.  \nWhat can you do during medical school to prepare for a career in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?  \nMentorship:  \nHow do I find a mentor in the field of PM&R?  \n• Contact PM&R residents or faculty at your home institution or in your area  \n• Association of Academic Physiatrists Resident/Fellow Council Medical Student MentorshipAssociation of Academic Physiatrists ( [physiatry.org](physiatry.org))  \n• Association of Academic Physiatrists Medical Student Council Big Buddy Program Medical Student Council-Association of Academic Physiatrists ([physiatry.org](physiatry.org))  \n• American Osteopathic College of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Mentorship Program  \nStudent Mentorship Program – AOCPMR  \nWhat type of mentors/advisors can provide helpful guidance?  \n• For career advice, shadowing, learning about the field, scholarly activity opportunities  \no PM&R residents at your home or local/regional institution  \no PM&R faculty at your home or local/regional institution  \no PM&R physicians in outpatient private practice  \no PM&R physicians who work in inpatient rehabilitation facilities not affiliated with an academic program (may require proactive outreach)  \no PM&R Student Interest Group faculty mentors  \no PM&R physicians who are active on social media  \n• For PM&R specific residency application advice  \no Faculty advisor and/or resident advisor at an academic center with a residency program who is knowledgeable about current application processes.  \no Mentors from the national programs listed above (let them know you are specifically interested in application advising)  \no Your school’s application advisors (even if your school does not have a PM&R residency program, your school’s advisors may have a network of PM&R advisors they or other students have engaged in the past)  \nScholarly Activity:  \n*This Includes research, case reports, case series, quality improvement projects, poster presentationsand more.  \nWhat types of research experiences are recommended for a student applying into PM&R?  \n• According to the 2021 NRMP Program Director Survey, program directors gave “Demonstrated involvement and interest in research” an average rating of 2.7/5 in importance when selecting applicants to interview.  2021-PD-Survey-Report-for-WWW. pdf ( [nrmp.org](nrmp.org))  \n• The focus on research is variable among PM&R residency programs, and some programs are more clinically based and put less emphasis on research experience.  \n• Research ideally is related to the field of PM&R (disability, sport medicine, pain, neurology,  \northopedics, rheumatology) . However, PM&R programs appreciate that many applicants discover the field of PM&R at various points during medical school and may have research experience in other fields.  \n• Being an author on presentations and publications may be","cbCaii3kKMbEo1bV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii3kKMbEo1bV","pdf",316563,"English","# What is a career like within Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?\n## Practice settings and patient populations\n## Common subspecialties and career options\n# What can you do during medical school to prepare for a career in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?\n## Mentorship\n## Scholarly activity\n## Volunteer/leadership\n## Externships","[{\"question\":\"What kinds of practice settings and patient populations are common in PM\\u0026R?\",\"answer\":\"PM\\u0026R spans inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, inpatient consultations, procedures, and diagnostic testing.
