Corewell Health Taylor Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, hospital-sponsored PM&R residency in Metro Detroit that transitioned from Wayne State University academic sponsorship to Corewell Health in 2018, positioning itself as a young program still building its identity and track record. Clinical training centers on trauma and brain injury rehabilitation, leveraging proximity to two level 2 trauma centers and an affiliated one-year ACGME-accredited brain injury medicine fellowship, alongside broader physiatry exposure including spinal cord injury and musculoskeletal medicine. The categorical four-year structure (5 residents/class) incorporates quarterly ultrasound and electrodiagnostic workshops for procedural skill-building, and the program explicitly emphasizes a collegial, wellness-oriented culture over research output. Career orientation leans toward clinical practice and subspecialty fellowship (particularly brain injury medicine) rather than academic research production.
