Small number of PMR residency programs are offering SNF coverage as part of mandatory training.
At the same time more PMR residents are becoming interested in working in SNFs and ending up getting a job including SNF coverage.
I will share our experience with working with PMR residents and fellows in SNFs as part of mandatory and elective rotations.
Will focus on service structure, barriers, advantages and disadvantages of being an academic physiatrist in SNF setting.

Learning Objectives:

Why having SNF coverage during PMR residency is very important
What are the barriers to accesing SNF as PMR residents
What are the advantages and disadvantages to be an academic physiatrist in SNF setting
What is the future of SNFs
