Courses in Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation
(PMR)
Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation emerged as a
medical specialty after World
War II and since then it has
gained international acclaim
and is one of the most sought
after specialties today.
Government of India started
this institute for the
development of this specialty
half a century ago and today
the Institute is training
specialist doctors in this
novel discipline.
Even though PMR is considered
a Non-surgical branch the
world over, the Institute,
along with many other medical
colleges in the country is
imparting the training as a
Surgical Specialty. This is
because the patient profile
seen in PMR Departments in
India differs considerably
with sequelae of many
diseases like Poliomyelitis,
Hansen’s Disease, etc. which
need Surgical Intervention.
