What Does a Typical Workday Look Like?
PM&R is a very diverse field, with no real "typical."
If you are interested in conducting research relevant to PM&R, contact Dr. Jacques Courseault for opportunities.
Additionally, students may want to pursue research opportunities through the DeBakey Scholars Program. This program offers medical students the opportunity to pursue and complete a longitudinal, structured, closely supervised research experience culminating in a capstone presentation prior to graduation. For more information, contact Dr. Derek Pociask.
PMRIG is a great way to get involved with PM&R.
Recommended T3 & T4 Coursework
There are several PM&R rotations available to T4s. Additional experiences in Orthopaedics, IM, Peds, or other areas of interest are recommended.
