We are looking for a dedicated Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist to join our multidisciplinary medical team. This role focuses on enhancing and restoring functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in physical medicine, a compassionate approach to patient care, and the ability to work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals.
As a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist, you will evaluate patients, develop comprehensive rehabilitation plans, and oversee therapeutic interventions. You will work closely with physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other specialists to ensure coordinated and effective treatment. Your goal is to help patients regain independence and improve their physical function through non-surgical methods.
You will also be responsible for managing chronic pain, prescribing medications, and utilizing advanced diagnostic tools such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies.
