Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
This clerkship is offered to third- and fourth-year medical students year round. A maximum of two students are accepted for each rotation. Rotations range from two to six weeks duration. For this rotation, students also must complete a physical medicine and rehabilitation specific application.
The rotation will provide exposure to all areas of rehabilitation, including an active acute inpatient service, a traumatic brain injury unit, and exposure to physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, recreational therapy, psychology, wound care, and other rehab related components. Students who are familiar with rehabilitation may customize their rotation experience. Students receive constant interaction and supervision from the rehabilitation resident physicians and staff physicians.
To maximize the experience, students will complete clerkships on either the acute inpatient unit or the acute brain injury unit for the duration of the rotation. Variability will be granted on a requested basis, if availability permits.
