KU PM&R is heading to SLC for #AAPMR25 and we can’t wait to see you there! We’ve got a full lineup planned, so to make it easy to find us during the conference, we’ve put together a quick schedule of where you can catch us each day.

Happy Friday! To close out the end of the week we are checking in with our KU PM&R Co-Chiefs to see how they’re keeping busy leading and supporting our residency program.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #kumedicalcenter #kuschoolofmedicine #pmrresidents #pmrresidency #chiefresidents⁠

The results are in! We’ve been climbing the ranks on Doximity’s Residency Navigator! Our program may be small—the smallest in the top 25—but we are remarkable! We’re proud to be among the top 25 programs in the U.S., and we will continue working to advance the specialty of PM&R

We are thrilled to share the news that our PGY4, Scott Draper, has matched with us for his Musculoskeletal/Interventional Spine Fellowship at KU Medical Center starting in 2026! It's an honor to support him as he embarks on this next phase of his education!

We spent our August Journal Club going over #orthobiologics! We discussed the effects of local anesthesia on platelet function in the setting of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections while also enjoying some food and company. Thanks for hosting our Journal Club, Dr. Howerton!

Join us on Thursday, August 7th for the 8:05PM CT/9:05 PM ET slot at the @Pathways_in_pmr virtual residency fair! Meet our current residents, learn about our program and why KU PM&R is the perfect place for the next step in your medical education! We can't wait to meet you!⁠
