Q&A Fellowship Series: Pediatric Medicine-Pediatric Medicine Summer Series

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar featured a Q&A session with various experts in the field of pediatric rehabilitation medicine (PM&R). They discussed the advantages of doing a combined five-year program in pediatrics and PM&R versus completing a four-year residency in PM&R followed by a PM&R fellowship. The experts emphasized the importance of personal preference and choosing a program that aligns with one's career goals. They also highlighted the need for more individuals to enter the field of PM&R to sustain its growth. Challenges in the field include the increasing demand for pediatric rehabilitation services and the limited resources for children with disabilities. However, the experts expressed excitement about the future of PM&R, specifically advancements in technology and genetic treatments that are improving patient outcomes. They also talked about the importance of play and enjoyment in their daily work with children. The panelists encouraged interested students and residents to reach out to them or attend conferences like AACPDM and AAPM&R to learn more about the field and its fellowship programs.
