We’re excited to welcome the resident class of 2028!

Pictured here with Larissa Pavone, MD, director of the program, these resident physicians are embarking on a 36-month ACGME-accredited physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) training program.

This comprehensive curriculum balances inpatient care, outpatient care and procedural training, ensuring our residents are fully prepared to enter clinical practice, pursue fellowship opportunities or launch academic careers.

We are proud to help train the next generation of PM&R specialists.

Renovations are now complete in our outpatient therapy space!

The redesigned areas now feature:
• More treatment space for physical and occupational therapy
• An updated simulation kitchen and laundry area to help patients practice daily living skills
• More private rooms for speech therapy
• A dedicated evaluation space for vestibular issues
• Standardized testing markers built into the flooring and walking track for more efficient assessments

This transformation also helps our physical and occupational therapists work side by side and learn from each other, whether they’ve got decades of experience or they’re early in their careers. Better teamwork leads to better care for our patients.
