Welcome from our Program Director
Training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation requires a breadth of clinical and didactic experiences to match the extensive spectrum of pathology managed by our specialty. TriStar Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers this breadth by combining the unique clinical training sites at Skyline Medical Center and Centennial Medical Center, two premier hospitals in Nashville serving distinct populations and communities, as well as several outpatient sites around the greater Nashville area.
While TriStar Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is a newly-accredited ACGME program, our hospitals are deeply rooted in an educational atmosphere, providing interprofessional training opportunities by world-class educators with years of GME-training experience. We invite you to learn about this exciting new opportunity in Nashville, TN.
About our program
Our residency is a three-year ACGME-accredited program starting in post-graduate year 2. We aim to provide a supportive, inclusive learning environment for physicians to develop the diverse medical and procedural skills necessary to deliver compassionate, patient-centered rehabilitative care. In order to serve the rapidly-growing population of Middle Tennessee, the program incorporates training sites from the region's leaders in physiatry, orthopedics, neurology and sports medicine with the goal of training excellent physicians capable of flourishing in any clinical environment.
By fostering an environment of scientific inquiry, we contribute to a community that advances the field of physical medicine & rehabilitation and our understanding of best practices. Individualized attention to personal and professional development prepares our residents to lead with confidence and integrity, while integrating into the local communities of Nashville, heart of culture and medicine in Central Tennessee.
