Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Interest Group (PMRIG) (PM-RIG)

The purpose of the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Interest Group (PMRIG) is to educate students about the medical specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). Various speakers and student activities throughout the year will highlight the different disciplines within PM&R, such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), Stroke, Pediatric, and Orthopedic Rehabilitation. Subspecialties such as Sports Medicine and Chronic Pain Management will also be discussed. Issues and characteristics of patients with disability will also be a focus of the group, as being an advocate for the patients with disabilities is an important aspect of being a physiatrist.
