Summer Preceptorships in PM&R

[sallazar]

I am a first year medical student who is interested in PM&R. I would like to do a preceptorship this summer shadowing a PM&R to get some hands on experience with the speciality. Does anyone know of any programs like this anywhere in the country? I am going to Medical School in Lubbock, TX and unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of rehab physicians in this town to shadow.

While not exactly on point, if you don't find a PM&R doc to shaddow, you do have at your disposal one of the best PM&R AND Anesthesia pain specialists in the country right there in Lubbock:

International Pain Institute
4430 South Loop 289
Lubbock, TX 79414
W: 806-743-7246
[email protected]

Dr. Shah is PM&R trained (Rusk), and then did both the HSS fellowship AND a second fellowship with Drs. Gabor Racz and P. Prithvi Raj, two of the great anesthesia pain icons.

If I lived in Lubbock, I would certainly start there.

Dr. Shah is a guy that u could defineitly get a publication with. He just gave my friend a chapter to write on Critical Care in a pain book. Maybe u can shadow him a couple times, and then he can start you on somehting cool for research or a publication.

Thanks Omar,

Do you know where his office is located? I have been intending to go to his office to set up shadowing and have been procrastinating. I probably try to do that this week.

The pain clinic is on Quaker and the loop (highway). I have shadowed Kaye and Racz at the pain clinic and I actually have gotten quite a few publications through Kaye. I actaully went to the pain clinic and got Kaye to hook me up w my first paper. But Kaye is not there anymore. I'm pretty sure u will be able to publish either w Shah and if that doenst work, u can defineitly publish with Kaye thru me or Amir Baluch (MS3), and there are few others that could help u out.

PM me if u got more questions. gluck

Northwestern also has an externship program if your interested. Check their website for more information. I was looking at this externship but they were too strick because the dates interfere with my classes.
