Discover the benefits of getting involved with the Academy as a medical student with our two new opportunities!
Medical Student Ambassador Program
At the beginning of 2025, AAPM&R will be opening self-nominations for 2025 -2026 Medical Student Ambassador Program. Similar to the PHiT Ambassador Program, we will be accepting 1 medical student from each medical school to increase involvement and recognition within the medical student community.
Call for the 2025-2026 Medical Student Ambassador Program opens February 2025.
Expanded Physiatrist-in-Training (PHiT) Council Board
Starting with the 2025-2026 PHiT Council Board, we have added 2 additional medical student roles to join the resident and in-training fellow members.
- Medical School and Ambassador Liaison will assist the Academy in launching and maintaining the Medical Student Ambassador Program. For those schools without a PM&R interest group, the liaison would help medical schools establish one with students interested in PM&R, and to help share information about AAPM&R and support established medical student interest groups.
- Medical Student Inclusion Liaison will work to increase the overall membership of the Academy as well as increase the diversity of the Academy and the field of PM&R at large. The liaison will support the PM&R Open House for UIM premed and medical students at the Annual Assembly each year and forge relationships with SNMA, LMSA, APAMSA and other medical student associations to recruit underrepresented medical students to the field of PM&R and create a pathway to diversify Physiatrists and potential future members of the Academy.
Call for the 2025-2026 PHiT Council Board opens May 2025.
