We are looking for a dedicated Physical Medicine Physician to join our multidisciplinary healthcare team. As a Physical Medicine Physician, also known as a physiatrist, you will specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients with physical impairments or disabilities resulting from injury, illness, or chronic conditions. Your primary goal will be to restore functional ability and improve the quality of life for patients through non-surgical methods, including physical therapy, medications, and other rehabilitative techniques.
In this role, you will work closely with other healthcare professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and orthopedic surgeons to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. You will perform thorough assessments, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and provide expert guidance on pain management and rehabilitation strategies. Your expertise will be crucial in helping patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, sports injuries, and post-surgical conditions.
You will also play a key role in educating patients and their families about their conditions, treatment options, and preventive measures to avoid further injury or disability. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as you will need to motivate and support patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. Additionally, you will be responsible for maintaining accurate medical records, collaborating with insurance providers, and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
The ideal candidate will have a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, completed a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), and hold a valid medical license. Board certification in PM&R is highly desirable. Experience in managing complex rehabilitation cases and a compassionate, patient-centered approach are key attributes for success in this position.
If you are passionate about helping individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding opportunity as a Physical Medicine Physician.
