Resident assessment examinations are completed annually. Research Research is a vital component of providing the best patient care possible. The faculty is successfully supported by funding sources, including the National Institutes of Health, the state of Ohio and private industry. Areas of research include traumatic brain injury, management of stroke, pulmonary rehabilitation, metabolic bone diseases, human gait, and electromyography. Residents are encouraged to participate in research during their regular rotations and by the provision of elective time in the schedule.
Financial support is available for residents presenting papers at national meetings.
The physical medicine and rehabilitation residency program is based at Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Center at The Ohio State University Medical Center. This is a 60-bed, inpatient rehabilitation center with units designated for traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The outpatient rehabilitation program is at an adjoining building. Physician outpatient clinics are within the attached Davis Center. The departmental library at Dodd Hall has a supply of specialty journals and textbooks, computers, and audiovisual devices to support education.
