Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency

Program Director's Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Residency Program at Memorial Healthcare System (MHS). We believe that every individual who sets out to be a physician does so with the aim of helping others and making a difference.

The PM&R Residency Program strives to train residents to become outstanding clinicians who care for patients with a variety of disabilities and impairments in order to maximize their functional abilities and improve their quality of life. In collaboration with the tertiary and quaternary care provided across MHS, our program provides residents with ample exposure to highly specialized care of a variety of patient populations including complex multiple trauma, strokes, brain and spinal cord injuries, geriatrics, pediatrics, pain medicine and orthopedics.

Our healthcare system strives to provide access to exceptional patient-and family-centered care, medical education, research and innovation for the benefit of the community we serve.

I hope you’ll join us in our mission to heal the body, mind and spirit of those we touch.

Memorial Regional Hospital South and Memorial Rehabilitation Institute have developed a wide range of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services in an academic community-based healthcare system with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary patient- and family-centered care.
