PM&R FAQs
Compensation for new PM&R graduates can vary widely based on the type of physiatry practice and geographic location. Inpatient, outpatient, subacute, and mixed settings all offer different pay structures. Generally, salaries tend to be lower in metropolitan areas—especially those with PM&R residency programs—due to higher competition. Conversely, rural or underserved areas, particularly those within large health systems, often offer higher compensation. When evaluating physical medicine and rehabilitation offers, it’s important to also consider the cost of living and the local tax rates. If you'd like to talk through specific scenarios, we’re happy to help.
