Nicolas Brandt, MD Carolinas Rehabilitation (CR) is a great place to train. In a field as broad and diverse as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the residency program you choose can play a large role in shaping the physiatrist you will be. Because of this, I am so glad that I am in a program that encourages resident autonomy, has broad exposure to a wide variety of clinical settings, has bountiful opportunities for leadership positions and growth, plenty of opportunities for research experience, and maintains a warm and supportive culture focused on preparing residents to practice. As Chief residents, we work regularly with our faculty leadership in the program to continue to build on this already strong foundation. My time at CR has been a phenomenal training experience, and I will definitely miss it after my residency is complete! |

Alena Sidwell, MD Carolinas Rehabilitation is a great place to train. Our Charlotte location, where we do consults and most inpatient rotations, shares a campus with a level one trauma center. This provides ample opportunity to care for patients with complicated rehab diagnoses. Between this, our stand-alone inpatient rehabilitation facility, diverse outpatient rotations and hands on experience in ultrasound, botulinum toxin, joint injections and interventional procedures, our program provides a comprehensive foundation in all areas of rehabilitation. Some of my other favorite parts of CR include teaching/mentorship opportunities with visiting and Wake Forest School of Medicine students, and our faculty's dedication towards developing residents as both physicians and people. Charlotte itself comes with its own huge list of perks- my personal favorite place to spend free time is the National Whitewater Center. I'm very grateful to be here and couldn't imagine training anywhere else! |
