We are excited to welcome applicants to our virtual interview process for four positions in our PM&R residency program. Each year, we interview approximately 55 candidates, with interview dates typically scheduled in November and December.

To ensure a smooth and equitable experience, we do not overbook interview slots—every invitation corresponds to a confirmed interview spot.

As part of our commitment to transparency and connection, each candidate is invited to a virtual social event hosted by our residents. This informal gathering offers a chance to learn more about our program’s culture, values, and day-to-day life from those who know it best.

At Corewell Health PM&R, we are eager to showcase the depth of our training, the strength of our community, and the opportunities available to help you shape your future in physical medicine and rehabilitation. We look forward to helping you make the best decision for your career.

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers four PGY-I positions each year through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). All applications must be submitted via ERAS.

• International medical graduates must have documentation of ECFMG certification

Applications are reviewed with attention to the candidate's academic, clinical, interpersonal skills and personal statement. Based on this information, applicants may be invited for an interview.
