Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency

The didactic and educational program for PM&R residents at Jefferson is comprehensive in nature, with the principle goals of clinical proficiency, patient care, and success on the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Examination. 

We use a 12-month rotating block schedule, covering all major disciplines reflected on the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation board examination, and features faculty from various programs and subspecialties. Subject areas include spinal cord injury, stroke, pain management, musculoskeletal, medical/rheumatologic, traumatic brain injury, pediatric rehabilitation, and functional rehabilitation. There are interactive board review sessions that occur at the end of each block and summarize board-relevant material covered during the block.

Several longitudinal elements are incorporated into the curriculum that reflects our commitment to the ACGME core competencies, such as quality improvement and professionalism.
