We hope to increase awareness of PM&R by notifying students of upcoming local research symposiums, inviting speakers and hosting panels. Our fall panel will include residents (from UH, CCF & Metro) who can better answer what it is like to get training in PM&R. Our spring panel will be of lucky 4th years post-Match day, who'll share the tricks of the trade of matching! |
