Education & Training

The Department's education and training programs are multidisciplinary, and offer degrees in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Prosthetics & Orthotics, and a PhD program in Rehabilitation Science.

Residents in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency program work directly with medical students and train at the four hospitals within the University of Washington's system, as well as in private practice settings.
