These rotations are carefully integrated to complement our in-house training, fostering adaptability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world clinical skills.
Leadership, research, and community engagement
Our program is committed to cultivating future leaders in physiatry through dedicated opportunities in:
- Leadership Development: Residents will have access to leadership workshops, involvement in departmental committees, and mentorship opportunities to hone their leadership skills within clinical and administrative settings.
- Research Opportunities: Engaging in scholarly activities is encouraged and supported through research projects, conference presentations, and publications. Residents are paired with faculty mentors to foster their academic pursuits and contribute meaningfully to the field.
