Our ideal faculty-to-resident ratio (>4:1) provides for concentrated teaching at the bedside, in the clinic and within a well-structured didactic curriculum.

This balance of experience and perspective provides our residents with a comprehensive understanding and advanced training in the many facets of PM&R practice.
