Most physiatry fields are in demand.
The request for PM&R doctors to provide work in subacute facilities continues to rise.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians who enjoy inpatient work can find such work easily in most areas. Many facilities are including internal medicine physicians as staff to lessen the workload demands on inpatient physiatrists.
There is a continued demand for physiatry subspecialists in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and pediatric rehab.
Interventional PM&R positions continue to be available as so many different subspecialties include these services in their practice.
General outpatient or sports medicine physical medicine positions don’t seem to be as great.
More employers are providing affiliation as an employee to satisfy physiatrists’ interests.
