ABPMR Part II Podcast

The ABPMR Part II Podcast is produced by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the organization responsible for certifying physiatrists in the United States. This podcast serves as a direct resource for physicians preparing for or maintaining their board certification in PM&R. Episodes focus on the knowledge and clinical competencies that the board considers essential, making it a uniquely authoritative study resource. The show covers clinical topics that align with the Part II certification examination, offering insights into what the board expects physicians to know and how they should approach clinical decision-making. Unlike informal review podcasts, this one carries the weight of coming directly from the certifying body itself. For residents approaching their initial certification or established physiatrists navigating the continuing certification process, the podcast provides clarity on examination content and assessment philosophy. The format is straightforward and educational, prioritizing substance over style. Episodes help demystify the certification process while simultaneously delivering clinical education. Having a direct line from the certifying board to practitioners is rare in any medical specialty, and PM&R physicians should take advantage of this resource. The podcast is a practical complement to other study materials and can help candidates focus their preparation on what matters most.
