1. EMG Rotation
This is an elective that is very well regarded and sought after by residents in other
physiatry programs. It is an elective that involves electrodiagnostic and neuromuscular
evaluations and is run conjointly through PMR and Neurology.
2. Other Rotations
We are now consistently taking elective residents from other programs. Specifically, we
are taking residents from Neurology and Orthopedics during the PGY2 year. We are also
taking geriatric residents during the PGY4/5 years. These rotations are primarily inpatient
with some outpatient exposure. We attempt to place the residents into the most suitable
rotation for their specialty. For instance, we attempt to expose orthopedic residents to the
inpatient MSK unit, amputee rehab, orthotics, prosthetics and electrodiagnostics. We
attempt to expose neurology residents to rehab in stroke, spinal cord, brain injury and
electrodiagnostics. We try and expose geriatric residents to primarily outpatient physiatry.
