Article Synopsis
- - The Medical Student Summer Clinical Externship is an 8-week program by the Association of Academic Physiatrists for first-year medical students, providing clinical exposure and mentorship in the field of physiatry, which has seen over 100 participants.
- - Surveys taken before and after the program showed a significant increase in students' interest in physiatry and their comfort levels in handling various patient assessments and disabilities.
- - By enhancing students' awareness and experiences in physical medicine and rehabilitation, the program aims to improve care quality and access for patients with developmental, musculoskeletal, and neurologic disabilities.
Although the physiatric community increasingly embraces evidence-based medicine (EBM), the current state of EBM training for trainees in physiatry is unclear. The purposes of this article are to report the results of the Association of Academic Physiatrists' surveys of physiatry residency programs in the United States, to discuss the implications of their findings, and to better delineate the "baseline" upon which sound and clear recommendations for systematic EBM training can be made. The two Association of Academic Physiatrists surveys of US physiatry residency programs reveal that most survey respondents report that they include EBM training in their programs that covers the five recommended steps of EBM core competencies.
