Hello everyone,

This is my first post here on SDN!
I'm finishing up 2nd year of medschool and have my heart set on PM&R. Recently, I came across a couple of programs offering combined residencies of internal medicine & PMR. Namely, Medical College of Wisconsin and Univ. of Buffalo. Are there any more programs who offer combine IM/PMR? And how competitive are they? Thanks in advance for your input.
 
I think those are the only two. From what I was told, very few people actually complete both programs and generally switch to one or the other. I would guess neither is really competitive. They're probably not in most people's top 20 programs. I would consider them programs that have regional rather than national appeal. You could check this years match stats on scutwork.com to see if the combined programs filled.
