Join us on Tuesday, October 5 from 7-8 pm (CT) for a casual conversation where our co-hosts will discuss the “PM&R BOLD: A closer look at the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitationʼs strategic initiative to envision – and effectuate – the future of musculoskeletal care” paper published in the PM&R Journal. This paper takes a closer look at the MSK envisioned future to illuminate how and why it was developed, the opportunities it presents for PM&R physicians and the strategic work needed to support the specialty’s progress toward this vision. Our co-hosts will be discussing MSK practice models, how these models can position physiatrists for success, the MSK envisioned future, opportunities for physiatrists and more. In addition, Dr. Chris McMullen, Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Sports and Spine Division at the University of Washington (UW) and Dr. Nina Maisterra, Clinic Chief at the University of Washington Neighborhood South Lake Union Clinic and colleague of Dr. McMullen, will be sharing what their partnership between primary care and PM&R is like in their UW office.
