What is Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (aka Physiatry)? We're here to help you answer that question!

The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Club is your resource for all things related to this wonderful medical specialty. Physiatry is a unique field that includes sports medicine, brain and spinal cord injury, palliative care, neuromuscular medicine, pain medicine, pediatric rehabilitation, and more! Throughout the year, we will host a panel event of experienced physiatrists who will educate you on their specialty, what you should do to prepare for CaRMS, and expose you to the diverse opportunities that this field of medicine can offer! We also intend to host a skills night to introduce you to skills and procedures used frequently by physiatrists. Lastly, we will help you find various physiatrists around Edmonton to shadow and gain first hand exposure to all the diverse opportunities that this career has to offer!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
