PM&R Curriculum and Didactics

The didactic curriculum focuses on the major areas as outlined by the American Board of PM&R.  In addition to the protected time for resident education every Friday, residents receive both formal and informal education during their rotations and participate in an annual anatomy lab course.

Each PM&R resident participates in quality improvement projects and are encouraged to partner with faculty in research projects and scholarly activities.
