Rehabilitation Research Experience for Medical Students (RREMS)
The 2009 RREMS applications are now available. Visit the main RREMS page for more information and to find complete instructions and links to applications.
Significant strides have been made in recent years in increasing research capacity and academic leadership through programs such as the Rehabilitation Medical Scientist Training Program (RMSTP) and the Program for Academic Leadership (PAL) initiated by the Association of Academic Physiatrists and funded respectively by the National Institutes of Health and the Roosevelt Warm Springs Foundation. These programs aim to train highly qualified residents and junior faculty as academicians, researchers, and leaders in our field. Until now, there has been no equivalent program that targets medical students.
The RREMS has been developed for medical students with strong research interests. This program will provide an exciting and structured research experience while exposing the medical student to some of the most successful and respected faculty mentors in the field of PM&R. This program will also benefit institutions that sponsor students by attracting a more academically oriented cadre into the field and into additional leadership training pathways. RREMS will also serve to enhance visibility of PM&R in medical schools and provide sponsor institutions with a means of establishing relationships with highly motivated and academically oriented medical students who may be candidates for future residency programs, the RMSTP, or the PAL program.
