University of Toledo Program

Program Identity & Fit

The University of Toledo PM&R residency is a small, university-affiliated program housed within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, training primarily at University of Toledo Medical Center with inpatient rehabilitation delivered through a partnership with Ernest Health at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Northwest Ohio, a disease-specific-certified unit that ranked in the top 10% of inpatient rehab facilities nationally in its first eligible year. The program's identity centers on broad, procedurally-oriented physiatric training, with faculty expertise spanning TBI/SCI, electrodiagnostics, ultrasound-guided injections, spinal interventional procedures, and musculoskeletal medicine, plus adjacent exposure through the institution's Pain Management fellowship. Research is present as a curricular component (journal club, independent study) but is not positioned as a defining or heavily resourced pillar of the program. The structure and faculty variety suggest a program valuing well-rounded general physiatrists comfortable across inpatient, procedural, and consultative rehab settings rather than pursuing a narrow subspecialty or research pipeline.
