Clinical Rotations and Call Schedule

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers a wide variety of educational opportunities throughout training. The rotations are purposefully equally balanced between Outpatient / Inpatient and Neurorehabilitation / MSK. In addition, we have maximized the number of electives to allow PGY3 residents to complete Audition Electives in pursuit of a fellowship and PGY4s to round out their education as they prepare for their unique post-residency careers.
