Welcome to the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Our mission is to optimize health and function of individuals with disabilities through a patient-centered continuum of care. Our team (clinical and research faculty, psychologists, rehabilitation nurses, social workers, case managers, therapists and specialists in rehabilitation administration) provides comprehensive rehabilitation services to patients and their families to improve quality of life.

In the past year we have made considerable progress toward our vision of becoming globally recognized in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

• We recently hired five world-class faculty members with expertise in cancer rehabilitation, neurological and spine rehabilitation, psychology, musculoskeletal medicine, non-operative sports medicine, and integrative medicine.
• Our international visiting scholars program has hosted faculty from Slovenia, Colombia, Brazil, Japan and Korea.
• In the near future, we are planning a two-week mission of faculty and members of our residency program to bring our knowledge and experience to countries in need of rehabilitation care. By training and working with doctors in other world  regions, we expand the benefits not only to people across the globe, but to our patients right here in North Carolina.

In order to grow in this exciting direction, our team of professionals seeks your ideas and support. Please let us know how you would like to give rehabilitation medicine to others. We also encourage your feedback as we build our web site to include more resources, helpful links, and other topics of interest.
