"As a medical student interested in PM&R, the Medical Student Program and Residency Fair were wonderful opportunities to learn from residents."—Past Attendee

Virtual PM&R Residency Fair - Medical Students

In addition to the Medical Student Program, the Academy will be hosting the Virtual Residency Fair on Tuesday, August 20 from 5-8 pm (CT). The Residency Fair is part of AAPM&R’s annual “Understanding PM&R” Medical Student Program, allowing for face-to-face interaction between program directors (and/or representatives of each individual program) and medical students who are interested in PM&R. It introduces medical students to the specialty and what it means to be a physiatrist. 

When accessing the fair, you will need to search for AAPM&R, which should come up at the top of the list. Once you have found AAPM&R, you can click on the link and then choose "AAPM&R 2024 Virtual Residency Fair". From there, you will be able to search all of the residency programs participating in the fair. Please note, additional programs will be added leading up to the fair, so please check back periodically.

Your registration for the Virtual PM&R Residency Fair is included with your Medical Student Program registration. Specific information will be sent to you closer to the event regarding the fair and how to schedule meetings with the various residency programs.



Virtual PM&R Residency Fair - Residency Programs

The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) is inviting you to participate in the 2024 Virtual Residency Fair. A few highlights about the virtual residency fair for programs include:

  • Programs will receive access to set-up their individual program booth, which will include the ability to add links to videos, their websites and downloadable pdf files.
  • Programs will be able to schedule group chats of up to 50 candidates at a time.
  • Programs will have access to resumes, LinkedIn pages and other details of candidates who schedule meetings with their program.

One important caveat for registration: To ensure each program has just one booth, one lead representative must be identified to receive communications. An endless amount of additional residency program staff can be added at any point once the lead representative receives their login access from our technology partner, Brazen. Please include the lead representative's information in the registration form that you can access using the link below.
