PM&R had a strong presence at 2023 meeting of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Michigan Medicine PM&R had a strong presence at the 2023 meeting of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPMR) in New Orleans.  We presented research, taught as faculty and participated in Academy activities such as PHiT (Physiatrists in Training). 

We also had a wonderful, well attended alumni reception at Mulate’s near the convention center.  In the Friday morning 5K run which raised funds for the Foundation for PM&R, Michigan Medicine had the largest team!  Congratulations to all of our researchers, teachers, volunteers and runners on representing Michigan Medicine PM&R at this year’s meeting.
