NYU Intensive Review of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Overview

The NYU School of Medicine is proud to offer a comprehensive Continuing Medical Education (CME) program in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This program is tailored to the needs of practicing PM&R physicians, residents, and those preparing for certification and recertification. Key topics in physical medicine and rehabilitation are thoroughly reviewed, ensuring participants remain up-to-date on the latest advances in the field.

Case-Based Lectures for Practical Application

NYU’s Intensive Review of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation incorporates case-based lectures that delve into challenging topics such as:

• Neurogenic communication disorders, exploring the assessment and management of neurological conditions affecting communication
• Musculoskeletal disorders, providing a comprehensive review of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation strategies for various musculoskeletal injuries
• Spasticity management, covering best practices for treating spasticity in individuals with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions
• Traumatic brain injury, focusing on epidemiology, classification, early management, and pharmacological treatment options
• Traumatic spinal cord injury, discussing classification, epidemiology, and management of acute and post-acute care

Evidence-Based Techniques and Best Practices

Participants will gain invaluable knowledge on evidence-based techniques for electrodiagnostic testing, allowing them to incorporate these methods into their clinical practice. Additionally, the course emphasizes the latest best evidence-based clinical guidelines for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders.

Preparation for Certification and Maintenance of Certification

The program is ideally suited for senior PM&R residents preparing for the Part I Board Certification Examination. PM&R physicians in their first year of practice can benefit from this review in preparation for the Part II Oral Examination. Practicing PM&R physicians seeking continuing medical education or knowledge updates will find this program invaluable. Moreover, it provides an excellent opportunity for physicians preparing for the ABPM&R maintenance of Certification Examination.
