Understanding PM&R: A Medical Student’s Guide to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation - American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Understanding PM&R: A Medical Student’s Guide to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Description

This year, our Medical Student Program will be held virtually on Thursday, August 18 from 5-8 pm (CT). The medical student program is intended to provide medical students exploring a career in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) an introduction to the specialty, the type of patients they will care for, and the procedures they may become skilled at. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from leaders in the field, and from current residents and those in fellowship about why they have chosen an exciting career in physiatry.

Last year, more than 250 medical students attended our virtual didactic program and provided very positive feedback. Plan to join us! Registration is FREE to all medical students who are AAPM&R members.
