Hi Guest: Check out our new article here: It Pays to Be an Early (Financial) Bird

Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerBob" data-source="post: 22009601" data-attributes="member: 494940">It matters, to a degree. Many inpatient units are so desperate they'll take anyone (including non-PM&R trained docs). But if you want an academic job or job at a more competitive place to live, then if there are other applicants, your residency/employment history matter. In general what matters most is whether your potential employer thinks they can work with you. I work with just one other physiatrist. I really didn't care where he trained--I just cared that he was good at inpatient rehab and easy to work with. I would've chosen him over someone from a top 5 program that was more difficult to work with. No question. The guy before him came from a "top" program and he left abruptly within a few months. The fact he left us hanging was actually the upside--life was quite difficult when he was there. Multiple staff members were getting ready to leave.With all that said, go to a top 5 program and be easy to work with. You'll get a job wherever you want.</blockquote>
