Our Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine department is composed of five faculty members. All patients who are being evaluated or treated for functional deficits in outpatient and inpatient settings are seen and discussed with a PRM faculty member. The fellows work very closely with providers from multiple pediatric subspecialties, including but not limited to general pediatrics, neurology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, urology and genetics.
Call is taken from home except for weekend and holiday in-house rounding on inpatients. Call is taken in one weeklong blocks with average frequency being one week per month. The fellows have attending physician back-up/supervision at all times when they take call.
Fellows have seven educational days that can be used to attend any PRM relevant conferences a year. Funding is allocated to help cover travel and conference fees.
