Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Their goal is to help their patients achieve the highest level of function possible. They lead a team of clinicians that often includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physician assistants, and nurses. PM&R physicians also work closely with other physicians, including neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons, primary care physicians, and others.

PM&R physicians at ChristianaCare work with both inpatients and outpatients. Patients staying at the Center for Rehabilitation at Wilmington Hospital, our 40-bed inpatient facility, may work with them, as well as therapists, nurses, and other staff. This facility is certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

Patients may also work with a PM&R physician on an outpatient basis.
