Exploring PM&R Open House for local New Orleans pre-med and medical students who are underrepresented in medicine

AAPM&R is committed to diversity in the physician workforce. This complimentary open house is exclusively for local New Orleans pre-med and medical students who are underrepresented in medicine.

PM&R aims to enhance functional ability of patients with physical impairments or disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. PM&R physicians are a diverse group who practice in clinical areas from sports medicine, pain management, stroke, brain injury, cancer rehabilitation, pediatric rehabilitation and so much more. Unlike other medical specialties that focus on a medical “cure,” the goals of the PM&R physician are to maximize patients’ activities of daily living.

Those who attend will learn more about PM&R from experts in the field. We hope you can join us to network and ask questions to see if PM&R is the right specialty for you. If you are a pre-med or medical student who is underrepresented in medicine, we would love to see you there!
