3 courses with the subject PMR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
This elective is for 3rd and 4th year medical students interested in gaining experience in the field of Adult and Pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, improving diagnostic skills related to the complications of disability, and improving neurologic and musculoskeletal examination skills.
