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 future career options.
AAPM&R’s Physiatrist in Training (PHiT) Board created this document for residents wishing to pursue post- graduate fellowship training. We intend for this to serve as an introduction to many 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 sections: a timetable for consideration of postgraduate fellowship training and a description of PM&R subspecialty fellowship fields.
This document is not an all-inclusive source of information on postgraduate fellowship opportunities; those who aspire to sub-specialized training are encouraged to discuss their interests further with faculty and colleagues. A list of subspecialty training programs seeking applicants is maintained at the AAPM&R website through its fellowship database.
