The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Residency Program at the UC Irvine Health School of Medicine is an integrated, three-year program using the facilities of three affiliated hospitals:
Our goal is to develop highly knowledgeable, clinically competent physiatrists who are able to function independently in almost any setting after graduation, without additional formal training. There is one exception: inpatient pediatric rehabilitation, which requires additional special training.
The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Our program requires the completion of a preliminary/transitional year in an ACGME, AOA, RCPSC or CFPC accredited program, or in residency programs with ACGME-I Advanced Specialty Accreditation prior to the start of our residency program.
