New PM&R Residency Programs?

[fozzy40]

Another poster has already mentioned of a potentially new PM&R program in Austin, TX.

I wanted to start another thread about other potentially new PM&R programs opening up.

I know that Western University has opened a new PM&R program that I believe will be accepting applicants as early as 2012.

I have also heard of a potentially new PM&R program opening in Arizona.

Anyone else hear other rumors?

Are these new osteopathic PM&R residency programs? I'm not aware of any new ACGME accredited programs. But I'm often the last to know about these things...

I believe they will be accredited through the American Osteopathic Association at least initially. I have not heard anything regarding potential dual accreditation.

I've heard rumors that Midwestern University (AZCOM) is trying to start a PM&R residency at this new facility through the AOA: http://www.shc.org/deployedfiles/shcwww/LiveContent/Media%20Relations/assets/2011%20System%20-%20Global%20Rehab%20Announcement.pdf

I've heard the same. I've been talking with the school for specifics🙂

Penn State is in the works to start a residency program starting in the 2013 academic year.
At least that's the word around Penn State right now...

Just remember kids, you do not want to be the first class of any residency. Let them work out the kinks first.
