Residency Training Program

Our educational mission is to train our residents to become skillful, knowledgeable and compassionate clinicians, researchers, educators, and administrators. We empower our residents to find the utmost fulfillment in their work while making meaningful contributions to their community and to the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Our residency program offers two training pathways: a 3-year program beginning at the PGY2 level, and a 4-year program which integrates the first year of basic clinical training into the curriculum. The entire 14-position three- and four-year residency training program is fully accredited by the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education).
