Introduction
Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) is an exceptionally diverse field.
The wide array of clinical practice settings can be overwhelming to residents as
they investigate career options.
The AAPM&R’s Resident Physician Council (RPC) created this document for
residents wishing to pursue post-graduate fellowship training. It serves as a
guide to introduce and summarize many of the subspecialties available within
PM&R. In addition, the Roadmap provides useful information on board
certification with links to many other organizations and web pages. This guide
has two primary sections: a timetable for consideration of post-graduate
fellowship training, and a description of PM&R subspecialty fellowship fields.
This document is not intended to be an all-inclusive source of information on
postgraduate fellowship opportunities. Those who are interested in pursuing
sub-specialized training are also encouraged to talk with attending physicians,
other residents, and review other websites and databases before deciding on a
career path. |
