(borrowing someone's SDN account)
I'm applying to PM&R residencies this week, and am finishing up the ERAS application. I was looking to get your informative opinions about my therapeutic massage certification that I obtained some years ago. I worked as a massage therapist for about 4-5 years, and feel that the palpatory skills benefitted me greatly. Since I'm particulary interested in the "hands-on" and manipulative physical medicine aspect of PM&R, I thought this might be valuable to include on ERAS. However, I'm concerned that residency directors may see this as too "paramedical" or even a detriment somehow.
I would be very interested in your opinions.
