The field is also known as physiatry or rehabilitation medicine. PM&R physicians are also called physiatrists. Physiatry is a broad specialty and physiatrists practice in a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient and outpatient. We have a deep understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems. We tailor our medicine to optimize our patients’ overall function and quality of life. We manage diagnoses such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, strokes, musculoskeletal injuries such as hip fractures and amputations, neurologic conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease… and SO much more! We specialize in nonsurgical management of pain, spasticity, bowel and bladder dysfunction. We are skilled in procedures such as electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), spasticity management (e.g. botulinum toxin injections, phenol injections and intrathecal baclofen pump management), peripheral joint injections, trigger point injections and interventional spinal therapeutics. Additionally, many physiatrists go on to fellowships to further specialize in sports medicine, pain medicine, brain injury medicine, spinal cord injury, pediatric rehab and even cancer rehab.$

So wait, is a physiatrist the same as a physical therapist??🤔

While physiatrists do work very closely with therapists – including physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT) and speech-language pathology (SLP) – and often prescribe or recommend therapy based on a patient’s functional deficits, physiatrists are not therapists.

On the inpatient side, we often round on our patients in the gym so that we can observe them in therapy, however, we leave the exercise regimens and physical modalities to the therapists.

On the outpatient side, we often prescribe therapies that are tailored to the patients needs.

As physicians specialized in PM&R, we focus on the medicine, ensuring that we are supporting our patient to make therapy and recovery as safe as possible.

✨tips for studying during your didactic years of med school✨

👚 wearing @barcomade Grey’s Anatomy Serena set in Pink Lemonade

✏️ stay organized! I probably go overboard with this one bc I like excel spreadsheets, colored pens, page tabs and all that jazz

✏️ pick 2-3 resources you love and stick with those! Don’t resource overload!! It can become overwhelming. For med school, I used First Aid, Pathoma, and Sketchy Medical and then UWorld when board prep came around (typical for most med students) *p.s. I have blog posts on how I studied for all of my board exams! Check the link in my bio.*

✏️ create a list of “back-up” resources. There are so many awesome resources out there, it’s hard to stick to just 2-3. So keep a little compilation list of other resources you can go to SELECTIVELY if you just need extra explanation that your primary resources isn’t providing. For example, watch OnlineMedEd, Osmosis, or Boards and Beyond videos ONLY if you still feel confused about a subject after using your primary resources.

✏️ annotate your primary resources with information you come across from your “backup” resources, practice questions, class, etc. This way your info stays condensed so it’s easy to find later. I used First Aid for this

✏️ study ACTIVELY by drawing, writing out your notes, making charts, or talking out loud. Use spaced repetition for long term memory (I loved Anki!)

🌊🤿👙🪸🏝️🦈🐡🌤️

This week we spent 3 days scuba diving, for a total of 6 dives. Max depth: 107 feet. Max dive time: 59 minutes. We saw 3 sharks, tons of stingrays, lionfish, eel, barracuda, wahoo, angelfish, pufferfish, lobster, starfish, + more. We swam through caves and many beautiful coral reefs.

We have a GoPro filled with photos and videos I’ll go through on the plane - will eventually share here!

Lucky to have the best travel partner 🐟🐠
