Dear all,

Welcome to the Website of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at CMC Vellore! I hope that these pages will be useful to our colleagues, students and patients who would like to get our help and assistance. Since the time Dr Mary Verghese founded the department in 1966, our faculty and staff have strived to provide the highest standard of care for patients visiting us as well as training and educational opportunities for our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Outpatients are seen in the Main Hospital in the daily outpatient clinics and speciality clinics. Inpatient rehabilitation care is provided in the Main hospital and at the Rehabilitation Institute, 7 km away. Academic programmes include the post graduate MD course in PMR, the Masters of Physiotherapy in Orthopedic Rehabilitation and undergraduate degree courses in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Prosthetics and Orthotics. Research is a major focus of the department with several ongoing projects in various disciplines as well as collaborations with IIT Madras, International Committee of Red Cross, Department of BioTechnology (DBT), Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
