Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program

Welcome to the UMMC Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program

The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center is dedicated to training compassionate, clinically excellent physiatrists who are prepared to lead in patient-centered rehabilitation care. Our program provides comprehensive training across inpatient rehabilitation, consultative medicine, musculoskeletal and spine care, neurorehabilitation, electrodiagnostics, pediatric rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics, and interventional procedures.

Residents train within a collaborative academic environment that emphasizes interdisciplinary care, progressive autonomy, scholarly activity and resident wellness. Through strong partnerships with Methodist Rehabilitation Center, the G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, and other regional clinical sites, residents gain exposure to a diverse patient population and a broad spectrum of rehabilitation diagnoses, including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputee rehabilitation, neuromuscular disorders, sports and musculoskeletal conditions, and chronic pain.

Our mission is to develop physiatrists who excel in interdisciplinary rehabilitation medicine while advancing function, quality of life and human performance for patients across Mississippi and the surrounding region.
