Training for Medical Students
We offer a variety of educational and training opportunities in physical medicine and rehabilitation for medical students and residents.
Summer Training Programs for Medical Students
Johns Hopkins University is a site sponsor for two summer programs designed for medical students between M1 and M2 years and offered through the Association of Academic Physiatrists. Both programs are eight weeks long and carry a $4,000 stipend. Johns Hopkins also covers registration and travel to the AAP's Annual Meeting, where students present scientific papers or case reports. Applications are accepted via physiatry.org.
Rehabilitation Research Experience for Medical Students (RREMS)
This program engages students in a research project within the Johns Hopkins Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. At this time, participation is virtual only due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research Areas: Projects may include muscle stiffness in CNS disorders, gait or movement analysis in neurologic populations, prevention of chronic back pain through behavioral interventions, dysphagia, pediatric TBI and concussion.
