Welcome to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center! We are excited about your interest.
Columbus, Ohio, boasts an amazing place to live and work — big city living and amenities with small town costs.
Our residents receive comprehensive rehabilitation education and training, rotate through all the major hospital systems in the Columbus metropolitan area, and treat a diverse patient population in a mix of academic, private and government health care settings.
Our primary inpatient rotations take place at Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital, a stand-alone hospital established in 1964 and located on the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center campus. Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital is part of the model systems program for traumatic brain injury. We are Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredited in brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, cancer rehabilitation and comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation. Our residents train as multidisciplinary team leaders on dedicated inpatient rotations in spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, cancer rehabilitation and general rehabilitation with one resident lead who is there for administrative training and support as part of an inpatient rotation.
Additionally, our residents have a robust inpatient and outpatient pediatric experience with the largest pediatric physiatry group in Ohio at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals and research institutes. We become well versed in pediatric rehab topics such as bracing, equipment needs, EMG and spasticity management.
Our outpatient clinics continue to build on these fundamental physical medicine and rehabilitation principles. We train with nationally recognized leaders in electrodiagnostics, spasticity management, Sports Medicine and OrthoBiologics, diagnostic and interventional ultrasound, pain management, interventional spine techniques, prosthetics and orthotics, and assistive technology.
We hold monthly attending-led journal club sessions that teach residents to critically analyze published literature to maintain the most up-to-date practices. Additionally, our faculty educate residents through daily morning lectures divided into neurorehabilitation, general rehabilitation, pediatric rehabilitation, musculoskeletal and ultrasound, neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic, and prosthetics and orthotics courses. Our extensive clinical opportunities and formal didactics prepare our graduates to excel in board examinations, fellowships, job opportunities and leadership positions.
Columbus offers recreation to both residents and their families. Columbus has one of the nation’s top children’s museums (COSI) and zoos (Columbus Zoo and Aquarium), a vast selection of outstanding restaurants and breweries and a variety of festivals, markets, museums, art exhibitions, concerts and theaters.
Columbus is a great city for people who are active. There is a fantastic Metro Parks and multipurpose trail system. Other parks, like Highbanks Metro Park and Hocking Hills, have excellent hiking trails. And Columbus is an exciting place to be a sports fan, with major and minor league sports teams (Columbus Clippers, Columbus Crew, Columbus Blue Jackets) and — of course! — THE Ohio State University Buckeyes. Learn more about the amazing things that Columbus has to offer.
