Welcome and thanks for your interest in the PM&R residency program at Virginia
Commonwealth University (VCU) and the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals along
with the McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Our three-year fully-accredited
PM&R residency program accepts 6 residents annually (through NRMP) and stresses
comprehensive medical rehabilitation for individuals with traumatic brain injury,
stroke, musculoskeletal injury, spinal cord injury, pediatric disorders, orthopedic
and multi-trauma injuries, along with specialty outpatient clinics for pain management,
musculoskeletal, sports medicine, electrodiagnosis and orthotics/prosthetics.
Upon completion of our fully accredited PM&R residency, VCU graduates demonstrate
the knowledge & skills to be highly competent Physiatrists and leaders in the
field of PM&R. A combined approach of extensive clinical exposure, bedside
teaching, formal lectures, and research mentoring is provided by an experienced
and nationally recognized faculty. An Interdisciplinary team approach is utilized,
working closely with physical/occupational/speech therapy, nursing, psychology,
social work, along with other medical/surgical specialties: such as neurology, neurosurgery
& orthopedics. For further information, please visit our website at:
