Why Join Us:

Thank you for considering joining our team. Rehabilitation practitioners believe in an approach to clinical care and scientific inquiry that mitigates disability, promotes functional independence, and improves human performance. The department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Colorado (CU PM&R) is at the forefront of using team science, regenerative medicine, and exercise treatments. It is uniquely situated in the state-of-the-art CU Anschutz Medical Campus, the first campus in the nation to be built from the ground up to bring research, education, and patient care into one visionary collaboration. Like the Rocky Mountains that provide a backdrop for our institutions, CU PM&R is on the rise! Our department attained #5 in the national PM&R Blue Ridge rankings for federal research grant funding in 2022. Notably, we combine the disciplines of rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, psychology, speech/language therapy, and rehabilitation sciences into a singular department.

The University of Colorado School of Medicine Physical Therapy Program in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is home to multiple educational programs: the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, Pediatric Physical Therapy Residency Program, Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency Program, dual DPT-MPH degree track, and PhD Program in Rehabilitation Science. The CU Physical Therapy Program most recently was ranked within the Top 13 accredited physical therapy programs in the United States by the U.S. News and World Report and is one of the first 25 educational programs still in existence in the United States. Additionally, our clinical and research partners include the Rocky Mountain Regional Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of Colorado Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, Craig Hospital, and Colorado Clinical & Translational Sciences Institute.
