This elective is designed to expose the student to various aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. The elective can be individualized according to the student's interests. The student will participate in patient care in both the inpatient and outpatient setting with the attending physician and/or the resident on the rotation. Exposure to the rehabilitative care of patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, neuromuscular diseases, and musculoskeletal problems will be available. Exposure to electrodiagnostics, pediatric rehabilitation and other educational opportunities may also be available if the student desires. The student will attend weekly didactic sessions with the residents.
Goals and Objectives for the student:
