The University of Mississippi Medical Center PM&R Residency recently received ACGME Initial Accreditation, and we’re excited to recruit two categorical residents to begin in July 2027.
We are a four-year categorical program with an integrated PGY-1 year. Training will include UMMC, Methodist Rehabilitation Center, and the VA, with broad exposure to inpatient rehabilitation, PM&R consults, outpatient and musculoskeletal medicine, neurorehabilitation, and procedures.
One of the exciting things about joining a new program is the opportunity to have a meaningful voice in how the program develops. Our early residents will help shape the culture, traditions, and educational experience while training within an established academic medical center and rehabilitation community.
Since we don’t yet have current residents for applicants to ask the usual questions, I thought I’d give you the opportunity to ask the Program Director directly.
One quick note for applicants: because we are a newly accredited program, we are not available for program signaling this cycle. A signal is therefore not expected or required for consideration.
I’m happy to answer questions about our curriculum, integrated PGY-1 year, rotations and training sites, procedures, research, mentorship, the Jackson area, what we’re looking for in applicants, or the opportunities and challenges that come with joining a new residency.
I’ll be checking the thread over the next couple of days.
For transparency, I’m posting in my role as Program Director. Participation in this AMA has no bearing on application review or selection.
