A Call for Visionary Physiatrists

Our Mission
To create a thriving future for physiatry through funding innovative education and leadership initiatives.

Our Values
We are guided by the principles of altruism, inclusivity, and academic excellence.

Our Goals
We aim to strengthen existing physiatry leadership programs, launch new initiatives that empower a diverse and talented next generation, and expand physiatry capacity on a global scale.

What We Fund

Mission Innovation – recognizes and awards PM&R depts & training programs that support initiatives in wellness, innovation in education, DEI, and global outreach.

Leadership Scholarships – scholarships for RMSTP (research training), PAL (leadership training), and APPL (advocacy training).

Medical Student Programs – annual Meeting scholarships and RREMS stipends for outstanding medical students.

FAB Expectations

FAB will primarily meet via monthly video conference calls, with one in-person meeting at the AAP Annual Meeting (though attendance at the Annual Meeting is not required to serve).

We are looking for members who will:

✓ Be knowledgeable about and committed to the Physiatry Foundation’s mission

✓ Be proactive advocates and champions of our cause

✓ Embrace and help foster a culture of philanthropy

✓ Attend meetings regularly and actively participate in discussions

✓ Bring bold, creative ideas to life to uplift the future of physiatry

✓ Review and score applications for scholarships and grants

No fundraising experience? No problem.
Your passion, voice, and leadership are what matter most.

If you’re ready to make a lasting impact and help guide the future of physiatry, I hope you will consider joining FAB.
