Residency Program
Since 1994, resident physicians have gained valuable exposure to physical medicine and rehabilitation medicine (PM&R) by learning from nationally known teaching faculty at Marianjoy.
Residency training in PM&R consists of 48 months. As per the requirements of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 12 of the 48 months must consist of a coordinated program of experience in fundamental clinical skills such as an accredited transitional year, or include six months or more in accredited training in emergency medicine, family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, or surgery, or any combination of these patient care experiences (source American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.)
Marianjoy’s three-year PM&R training program, which includes clinical experience, education opportunities and research activities, is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Marianjoy has specialty programs in:
- Stroke
- Musculoskeletal medicine
- Spinal cord injury
- Neuromuscular rehabilitation
- Brain injury
- Pediatrics
- Pain management
Additionally, our specialized clinics through the Marianjoy Medical Group, which include our comprehensive outpatient clinic, prosthetics/orthotics clinic, swallowing and voice center and continence clinic, provide additional educational opportunities for our resident physicians.
