University of Missouri-Columbia Program

The University of Missouri Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency program offers a comprehensive training experience with a focus on traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and amputee rehabilitation. Residents learn to make important diagnostic and management decisions while honing their skills in communication among various disciplines of rehabilitation. The program provides hands-on experience at Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital and University Hospital, offering a wide scope of pathologies to address.

The residency program features a family-like atmosphere, supporting residents in maintaining quality home lives while providing them with flexibility to manage life's demands. Residents take inpatient calls from home, fostering a cohesive environment where ideas and concerns are respected and encouraged among all team members.

The residents in the program have diverse backgrounds and career interests, ranging from sports medicine to interventional spine and pain management. The program emphasizes mentorship, extensive training, and a rich history of producing quality physiatrists. Residents appreciate the supportive culture, comprehensive training, and the vibrant city of Columbia.

For interested applicants, the program requires completion of a PGY-1 year in an ACGME or AOA-accredited program, with documentation of fundamental clinical skills acquisition. USMLE or COMLEX Part 1 passing is necessary for application. The program does not sponsor visas and requires IMGs to have completed or be completing an internship in an ACGME accredited program.
