The Mayo Clinic Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
(PM&R) focuses on fostering functional recovery for inpatients
and outpatients through an integrated, multidisciplinary team of
rehabilitation professionals. Founded in 1935, the department is
one of the largest in the nation, including 35 physiatrists (physicians
specializing in rehabilitation medicine), 167 physical therapists,
81 occupational therapists and five recreational therapists. Inpatient
services are offered at Saint Marys and Methodist Hospitals in Rochester
.
In addition to caring for patients in their clinical practices,
Mayo Clinic's faculty members are committed to teaching and facilitating
the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty have published
and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their field.
