Physiatry is a rewarding career that can significantly impact someone's life. If you are looking for a job in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, it means you're a compassionate person who values flexibility and is committed to lifelong learning. These are good traits to have, as the healthcare environment is constantly evolving and creating new opportunities for physiatrists.

Physiatry in the Subacute or Skilled Nursing Arena

The shift of patients from traditional inpatient rehabilitation units to subacute rehabilitation has increased the need for physiatric involvement. Because of their specialized training, a physiatrist is able to provide invaluable support for the subacute or skilled nursing world. 


Typical day-to-day duties include:

  • Examining patients to determine rehabilitation needs and goals of therapy.
  • Diagnosing patient conditions and implementing an appropriate treatment plan.
  • Collaborating with the entire medical professional team, including the attending physician, nursing team, and physical, occupational and speech therapists.
  • Educating the patient and family about their rehabilitation diagnoses and strategies to decrease symptoms and improve function.
  • Monitoring ongoing patient progress and adjusting plans as needed.
  • Researching injuries, conditions and diseases to optimize care and improve outcomes.  

Overall, a physiatrist works to better the lives of patients and residents through personalized rehab programs
