Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Program
The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Program at the University of Rochester is a four-year categorical program (PGY1-PGY4), accredited by the ACGME.
Our program trains its residents to acquire the essential knowledge and technical skills for rehabilitation and well-being of patients. We also prepare trainees to practice independently in a variety of settings. Our program promotes the development of research interests, as well as critical reasoning and administrative skills.
Our mission is to provide our residents with a balanced clinical experience, covering the broadest range of the field, and provide specialized training to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to practice to the fullest extent of their abilities.

"I chose URMC for my PMR residency because program culture is extremely important to me. From the moment I stepped foot on campus I felt comforted and accepted and knew I was in a place where I could thrive. Coupled with the fact that Rochester is a beautiful city with plenty of outdoor activities to keep my sanity outside of work and a diverse patient population, URMC was the obvious choice for PMR residency."
