Physiatry is the Medical Specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

There are approximately 8,300 board certified physiatrists in the United States who are trained to diagnose, treat, and direct a rehabilitation plan that provides the best possible patient outcomes. The physiatrist directs a comprehensive rehabilitation team of professionals that may include physical therapists, occupational therapists, recreational therapists, rehabilitation nurses, psychologists, social workers, speech-language pathologists, and others.

In addition to directing inpatient rehabilitation services, physiatrists treat neurological rehabilitation conditions including stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Physiatric scope of practice also includes the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, pain syndromes, and sports injuries.

The Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP) is an organization of faculty, researchers, and others interested in supporting academic medicine. The Association currently has 1,100 members. It has an official journal, American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and holds an annual meeting. The Association is involved in a number of projects to support and enhance academic PM&R.

The content of the website is designed to be user friendly and to offer information about the organization, the field of PM&R, and information related to education and research. It is hoped you find this site useful and informative.

We've Moved!

The new office address is:
7250 Parkway Drive
Suite 130
Hanover, Maryland 21076

New Phone Number
410-712-7120

Fax: 410-712-7101

The location is just off the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and adjacent to the Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Airport.

The new office was chosen for its proximity to BWI Airport and convenient location between Baltimore and Washington. Its ease of access to Washington was seen as a plus as the AAP becomes more involved in national health policy and related issues. The image below shows the building where the new AAP office will be located.
