Colorado 

Combined Pediatrics / PM&R Residents

Colorado's Combined Pediatrics / PM&R match is open to 1 qualified applicant per year who has a clear demonstrated committment to become a pediatric physiatrist by completing both a Pediatrics residency program and a PM&R residency program.  The PGY-5 Pediatrics/PM&R resident works closely with PRM Fellows CHCO as well as the Pediatrics and PM&R residents from the University of Colorado.  This creates a rich learning community and camaraderie among our residents and fellows and well as ample teaching opportunities for our our senior trainees.
