NYU comprehensive physical medicine and rehabilitation — 49 lectures covering the full PM&R spectrum
The NYU physical medicine rehabilitation review brings together 49 lectures and 2 companion PDFs totaling 33 hours of recorded content. Released June 1, 2021, this resource addresses the breadth of rehabilitation medicine — from lower and upper limb amputation management through traumatic brain injury, stroke recovery, chronic pain pharmacology, electrodiagnostic testing, and spinal cord injury outcomes. Faculty from NYU’s PM&R department present each topic with clinical depth aimed at residents, practicing physiatrists, and any clinician who manages rehabilitation patients.

Inside this resource
Amputation management and prosthetic rehabilitation
Heikki Uustal, MD leads a nine-part series on lower and upper limb amputation — from early surgical management through normal and pathological gait patterns, orthotic devices, and energy-consumption analysis during amputee locomotion. Jeffrey M. Cohen, MD adds a session on amputee gait dynamics, while Edwin Richter, MD addresses early lower extremity amputation management. The material builds a systematic approach to evaluating amputees and fitting prosthetics that translate directly into clinic decision-making.
Brain injury, stroke, and neurological rehabilitation
Steven R. Flanagan, MD covers traumatic brain injury classification, epidemiology, and pharmacological treatment of cognitive and behavioral sequelae. Ira Rashbaum, MD presents stroke rehabilitation principles, and Renat R. Sukhov, MD addresses pediatric rehabilitation for spina bifida and cerebral palsy. Elizabeth Galletta, PhD adds neurogenic communication disorders in adults, rounding out a neurorehabilitation module that spans pediatric through geriatric populations.
Pain management and electrodiagnostics
Christopher Gharibo, MD delivers two sessions on chronic pain pharmacotherapy and interventional pain procedures, including indications, complications, and technical aspects. Randall Braddom, MD provides extensive electrodiagnostic content — EMG in motor neuron disease, radiculopathy studies, H-reflex and F-response testing, and polyneuropathy evaluation. Lyn Weiss, MD adds upper and lower extremity compressive neuropathies, creating a comprehensive electrodiagnostic curriculum within the broader PM&R review.
Sports medicine, cardiac rehab, and special populations
Elizabeth Barchi, MD addresses sports injury management and exercise prescription, while Brian Im, MD covers mild traumatic brain injury in athletes. Jonathan Whiteson, MD presents cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation modules. The course also includes oncological rehabilitation, geriatric rehabilitation, regulatory challenges in PM&R, and preparation for the written and oral board examinations — topics that round out a genuinely comprehensive review of the specialty.
Who this serves
- PM&R residents and fellows — structured review across the full specialty ahead of board examinations
- Practicing physiatrists — convenient reference for electrodiagnostic technique, pain management updates, and rehabilitation protocols
- Primary care and sports medicine clinicians — foundational PM&R knowledge for managing rehabilitation referrals and chronic pain patients

James R. –
Studied this for my PM&R boards and passed. The breadth is impressive — stroke rehab, TBI management, electrodiagnostics, and even pediatric rehabilitation. The course content is solid and directly applicable.
Mark T. –
The EMG modules with Randall Braddom are worth the price alone. Clear explanations of nerve conduction studies and polyneuropathy evaluation that I reference regularly in clinic.
Priya K. –
Strong content across the full PM&R spectrum. I would have preferred more case-based discussions rather than pure lecture format, but the clinical depth is solid. At 33 hours it is a substantial course.
Alicia S. –
Comprehensive PM&R review covering everything from amputation rehab to spinal cord injury. The chronic pain pharmacotherapy sessions by Dr. Gharibo were practical and current.
Daniel W. –
Exactly what I needed as a physiatrist refreshing my electrodiagnostic skills. The compressive neuropathy sessions and H-reflex/F-response material are outstanding references.
Cathy L. –
The swallowing disorders and spasticity management lectures are good but relatively brief compared to the amputation and EMG sections. Still, a solid overall PM&R review.
