Participants will have the opportunity to hear from leaders in the field, and from current residents and those in fellowship about why they have chosen an exciting career in physiatry. This virtual program is FREE for all AAPM&R Medical Student members.

"As a medical student interested in PM&R, the Medical Student Program and Residency Fair were wonderful opportunities to learn from residents."—Past Attendee

Virtual PM&R Residency Fair

In addition to the Medical Student Program, the Academy will be hosting the Virtual Residency Fair on Tuesday, August 22 from 5-8 pm (CT). The Residency Fair is part of AAPM&R’s annual “Understanding PM&R” Medical Student Program, allowing for face-to-face interaction between program directors (and/or representatives of each individual program) and medical students who are interested in PM&R. It introduces medical students to the specialty and what it means to be a physiatrist. 

When accessing the fair, you will need to search for AAPM&R, which should come up at the top of the list. Once you have found AAPM&R, you can click on the link and then choose "AAPM&R 2023 Virtual Residency Fair". From there, you will be able to search all of the residency programs participating in the fair. Please note, additional programs will be added leading up to the fair, so please check back periodically. After you have registered for the Medical Student Program, specific information will be sent to you regarding the fair and how to schedule meetings with the various residency programs.

Your registration for the Virtual PM&R Residency Fair is included with your Medical Student Program registration.
