About Us
Welcome to the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at the WVU School of Medicine. Our fundamental mission is to restore function, maximize independence, and enhance the quality of life for every patient we serve. As physiatrists, we lead a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care, focusing on the whole person, not just their condition. We specialize in helping individuals overcome the challenges associated with a wide spectrum of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, from stroke and spinal cord injury to complex pain and sports-related injuries. We are proud to provide a vital service to the people of West Virginia and the surrounding region, ensuring access to premier rehabilitative care.
Our department is uniquely positioned as a core clinical and academic pillar of the world-renowned WVU Medicine Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute (RNI). This integration places us at the absolute forefront of rehabilitative medicine, where groundbreaking science translates directly into patient care. Our patients benefit from unparalleled access to pioneering technologies—including advanced robotics, focused ultrasound, neuromodulation, and virtual reality systems—all within a deeply collaborative environment. Our physiatrists work side-by-side with neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and a dedicated team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists to create comprehensive, individualized recovery plans. This seamless, multidisciplinary model ensures that our patients receive the most innovative and effective treatments available anywhere.
Beyond our clinical excellence, we are deeply committed to shaping the future of our specialty. As an integral part of the WVU School of Medicine, we are dedicated to training the next generation of physiatrists through our dynamic residency and fellowship programs. We foster an environment of inquiry and discovery, where faculty and trainees actively engage in research to push the boundaries of what is possible in recovery and brain health. We are not just treating today's patients; we are defining tomorrow's rehabilitation medicine right here at WVU.
