First Week of PM&R Residency | Life as a Doctor

My first week of PM&R (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) residency is finished and it feels so good to be done with intern year and finally in my specialty of choice!
This video highlights some moments from my first week on the brain injury service and one particular instance that highlights the difference between a medical service and the rehab service and why the transition can be tricky.

Awesome insight! Looking forward to hearing more about your PM&R experiences sir!

👍 thanks Chris

This is amazing! I'm currently an MS2, and this provided a lot of insight. I was working with new PM&R residents at SRAL back in July, so seeing this definitely made me realize how hard you all work. Keep up the PM&R videos :) I'm a big supporter, as I'm extremely interested in pursuing PM&R!!!

[@BrianSuttererMD]

That's great to hear!!! You'll enjoy the vid coming today (why I chose PMR). Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Would appreciate sharing the channel with other students you might know interested in the field :D

I was shocked my first day in MPR😂😂 but i fell in love with it day after day.

[@luisemiliolopezlarosa4204]

Awesome Vid! This is the kind of channel i've been looking for. Im interested in applying for a PM&R specialty and i'm eager to see more content from you. Keep it up.👍

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Thanks!! Appreciate it and will definitely keep them coming 👍

What's scope for Indian MD in pm&r.. I m willing to take only if it has scope

[@IamMe9121]

How has your call overall in PM&R differed from call during your IM year? Also, are there any differences in how admissions work?

[@eliasdavidreyes8611]

Cool!!! Wish you look

What does a PMR Sports specialist do?

Hey there! I just want to say thank you for the video you made about nontraditional med students. I recently want to become a doctor and I'm a nontraditional pre med. I was wondering if you met people who got their pre med degree at a community college and is now in med school? There is not many videos touching on community college pre meds. If you can make a video on community college pre meds I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks again! You have a new subscriber!

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Hi Brianna, glad you enjoyed the video! I don't know of anyone who did their premed at a community college so I can't speak directly to it. I would hope that if you can get the grades and do well on your mcat then it should t matter..bias existing it might be more challenging understandably, but don't let that discourage you !

[@Daniel-ce6vi]

MedEdInsights thanks for the encouragement and replying.

Hi Dr Sutterer, how can I specialize in pediatric rehabilitation? Do I still need to undergo pediatrics residency? Or is PM&R residency and a subsequent fellowship on pediatric rehab the path to it? Thank you

[@BrianSuttererMD]

You can do either PMR residency then fellowship, or there are a few combined peds/PMR residency programs where you do both and don't need fellowship. Most people do PMR residency and then a peds rehab fellowship

[@drramksa9155]

Can you talk about the specialty?

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Yes! I'm working on a video about it right now! Thanks for watching

[@hrtlsmoe]

can you also say how to become one :)

[@payammehraban3728]

Hi, how many hours on average do you work in PM&R?

[@BrianSuttererMD]

50s during residency after intern year . Each program will vary though

[@payammehraban3728]

Brian Sutterer MD that’s a pretty good number of hours for a residency, thanks
