Welcome - We're Glad You're Here!
There are gaps in support for education, leadership, and diversity programs in physiatry. That's why AAP is launching it's new philanthropic arm, the Physiatry Foundation.
Our mission is to create a thriving future for physiatry through funding innovative education and leadership initiatives.
Our values are based on Altruism, Inclusivity, and Academic Excellence. Our goals are to enhance existing physiatry leadership programs, create brand new initiatives to uplift a diverse and skilled future generation, and to expand physiatry capacity globally. The Physiatry Foundation is laser-focused on innovation – leveraging mentorship, leadership, and scholarship to optimize function for millions of patients.
