About the Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) Fellowship

The Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) fellowship was established in 2002 to train physicians in the physiatric care of children. The ACGME-accredited program provides a broad experience in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of congenital and childhood-onset physical impairments. Understanding of related or secondary medical, physical, functional, psychosocial, cognitive, and vocational limitations or conditions, and of the life course of disability are also emphasized. Eligible candidates should have completed either a four year ACGME-accredited Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency program or a five year ACGME-accredited combined program in Pediatrics and PM&R. Eligible candidates should be board eligible or board certified in PM&R. The program currently accepts 1-2 fellows per year.

The Section of PRM is the pediatric branch of The Ohio State University Department of PM&R. The section is composed of four faculty members. This section sees over 90 new inpatients, 250 inpatient consults, 150 EMGs and 3200 outpatient visits per year.
