From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UCLA-VA Multi-campus PM&R Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited residency program in physical medicine and rehabilitation based in Los Angeles, California.[1][2] With four clinical fellows in pain medicine and 26 PM&R residents enrolled in the program, it is one of the largest PM&R residency programs on the West Coast and one of a handful of PM&R-based programs in the U.S. to house its own pain medicine fellowship program.

History

[edit]

The program started in 1955.[3] The program has trained over 300 physiatrists thus far. As with other VA-affiliated programs, UCLA-VA Multicampus Program grew in part due to increasing federal funding for research and development in the field of prosthetics and rehabilitation in the 1950s and 1960s. The Vocational Rehabilitation Administration (later Social and Rehabilitation Service) provided grants to support training programs for physiatrists and emerging PM&R departments. Research and technology were important part of these training objectives.[4]

West Los Angeles VA Medical Center opened in 1977 and the PM&R Department established an immediate presence, caring for patients who returned from the recent conflicts in Southeast Asia. The UCLA-VA Multicampus Program grew in size in the 1970s and 1980s with the addition of residents from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center.
