Description
The AAP’s Residency & Fellowship Directors (RFPD) Council is a group of Residency Program Directors, Fellowship Program Directors, and Co-Directors of an ACGME-approved PM&R program. Does that sound like you? If you are an active AAP member, then this community is here as your resource!
Our mission is to work with the AAP and each other to create the future of academic physiatry through mentorship, leadership, and discovery. The council offers opportunities for Program Directors to communicate important information, generate ideas, alert the appropriate people to critical issues, and provide collegial support. We hope you’ll get active in our community.
RFPD & the Annual Meeting
Every year at the AAP’s Annual Meeting, the RFPD organizes a workshop that keeps Program Directors and Coordinators inspired and innovating year after year. Come to connect, learn, and grow your programs with best and novel practices. Here’s a look at some of our past workshop experience sessions:
Teaching pain and addiction in GME
Evidenced Based Practices for Recruiting Diverse Applicants to PM&R Residency
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Residency Curriculum
Best Practices for PM&R Residency Programs
Read up on the newest Application and Recruitment Guidelines for residency and fellowship programs, provided by the AAP RFPD Recruitment Subcouncil.
Active AAP members who are RFPDs can share best practices, ask questions, and stay connected via the AAP’s RFPD listserv. Email the AAP if you would like to be added to the Google Group or are having problems receiving or sending messages.
