Its very helpful if you work in a rehab hospital, its correlate is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) fellowship out of a PM&R residency. Its a rapidly evolving field, I know at The Kessler East Rehab hospital, the director of TBI is a neurologist (one of the few non-physiatrists on staff).

I did a rotation there, the basic thrust was trying to tailor phamacotherapy to particular brain dyfunction.

hope that helps.
 
would you choose neurology over PMR? i am confused or rather i like both of these specialities.
thanks

I had the same dilema...I chose neuro.

Basically in pm&r the only thing I was really interested in was
TBI. I realized that neuro had the equivalent specialty with neuro rehab, and as well much much more fellowship options.

I actually did an subI in PM&R and really liked it, but in the end, I really do enjoy more acute care work.

Both are great fields.

ps. there are combined programs out there

This is a link to a PDF from the ABPMR which has info about all combined PMR programs, including PMR/Neuro (page 13).

I visited the websites of the three above schools, and I can't find anything about combined PM&R/NEURO programs.....you might want to contact them. In the document from the ABPMR it describes how you can set up your own dual program, but I am not sure how feasible that is..... I hope this helps some.
