UC PM&R-Why we chose Cincinnati PM&R
-More specifics about our PM&R residency program |
|
We told you why we like the city, but let's talk a little more about our program.
|
"I knew that the program directors and attendings had our best interest at heart 100% of the time. The first priority is always our learning and making sure we have the best learning opportunities at our disposal, even if that means the attending has to write the progress notes that day. Most importantly the residents were all super cool and people I wanted to be around both inside and outside the hospital."
|
Engaging faculty, driven colleagues, and opportunities to pursue my interests.
|
"I chose the UC PM&R program because of the close-knit bond of the residents I experienced on interview day, the strong reputation in the program for MSK and EMG, and the success of the graduates in a wide array of sub-specialty areas upon graduation."
|
"It seemed like the perfect academic institution at which to pursue my clinical interests in Outpatient Neurorehab. I especially appreciated the unique positioning of our division in the larger Dept of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine, which provides ample opportunities to collaborate with Neurologists ... and of course because I was drawn in by Dr Mark Goddard’s energy and positive attitude!"
|
"The residents are fantastic and always have each others' backs! It was also great to have the PGY1 year built in at UC. The internal medicine residents and attendings are wonderful too, and I felt very supported and well equipped during my intern year. And the cost of living in Cincinnati can't be beat!"
|
"The residents I worked with seemed really happy at work and hanging out with each other The outdoor team "lunch & learns" The close knit program The opportunity to do an intern year here to get to know the hospital and the people"
|
""Number one is obviously how cool the residents are. Everyone has a great sense of humor and most importantly can appreciate a good sarcastic joke. We also have incredible MSK and ultrasound opportunities, great teachers in all areas of PM&R despite being a smaller program and incredible pediatric exposure at our world renowned Children’s Hospital.""
|
"It’s such a collegial place to work. I love how we all pitch in to help one another whenever there’s a need. I deeply value the respect that our faculty give to one another and especially to the residents. And because I love being surrounded by other intelligent people eager to continue learning... the heart of academic medicine. If I had the choice to make again, I’d join UC PM&R in a heartbeat!"
|
"Strong didactic component. Access to procedures. Small family- like environment. AND Mary is simply the best coordinator in the business."
|
"As a smaller program you get to know both the residents and attendings really well. It feels like a family, and we all have each other's best interests at heart on both an academic and personal level."
I chose UC PM&R because...
|
"1. Our co-residents.
2. The city of Cincinnati. 3. Our strengths and passionate teaching in EMG, MSK, and Neuromuscular medicine. 4. Continuity Clinic 5. Our supported academic and research interests." |
" My co residents!
Small family like feel of the program Opportunities for continuity clinic of your choosing beginning as a PGY2 Working with attendings who are amazing physicians and teachers" |
What else can we tell you?
We all picked the program for a variety of reasons, but when you look at them all, common themes quickly appear.
We chose our program because...
...we offer a broad education within Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation including a strong musculoskeletal medicine experience, several inpatient units to gain experience in multiple practice settings, inpatient services focused on acquired brain injury, stroke, and spinal cord injury, a busy consult service, broad pediatric rehabilitation experience, lots of EMG experience, and more.
...we love our faculty and appreciate how excited they are to teach us every day.
...we have the opportunity to tailor our experiences as we move through residency to gain more experience in areas of interest.
...we really are a close-knit group and are here to support each other. There will always be challenges in residency, and here, your co-residents will be there when you have a bad day or are going through a rough time.
