No, not possible. You won't get any interviews.
This really doesn't make sense. You're in Florida, but can't find a PM&R physician to rotate with? I would just find one close to you and do what everyone else does - work extra hours, go in on nights / weekends, get off rotations early and head to the PM&R office.
There are plenty of ways to get a letter, and you have plenty of time to do it.

I agree with the others. I think even a US MD graduate wouldn't get any interviews without a PM&R letter, though I can't say for sure (I don't know anyone that does a PM&R rotation and isn't able to ask for it, but I've definitely never heard of any applicants getting into PM&R without a rotation).
Like the above poster says, you need to put in extra work and do whatever it takes to get a letter of recommendation if PM&R is what you want to do. And if you haven't done one already you need to do a PM&R rotation as well. I think submitting an ERAS application without both is almost certainly going to be a no-go.

Is this a joke?
The last thread you started was "Prostitution Charge: Would a misdameanor prostitution charge affect residency/dea/student loans?"
Why did you edit your post? Makes you look a little trollish.
Yes...you can get a rotation in Florida...I did. I suggest using something called the Internet to type "physiatrist" and your desired rotation. You'll probably find 20+ docs to call in every major city. Put in the work. There are three PM&R residencies in the state (USF, Jackson, and Larkin (though I can't recommend matching to this program)). Why can't you try to audition while getting an LOR? And why are you confined to the state of Florida...was it apart of your plee-deal?
Yes, IMGs can match to PM&R. It's not easy...but by applying broadly with good stats...yes.
