Why NRH-Georgetown? When I interviewed with NRH I was immediately impressed by the sense of camaraderie between co-residents and the collaborative training environment. The residents told me on my interview about ways they worked together to help a resident going through a difficult time, and I found it reassuring to know that the residents really have each other’s backs. We also get to experience in such a wide spectrum of PM&R practices because of out location- from the NIH to Walter Reed to widely urban PM&R practices at the NRH and beyond- you get a robust and tailored residency experience. The NRH also has numerous in house fellowship options, and as a budding physiatrist I want to keep my options open and explore the many different specialty areas PM&R has to offer.
