Pathways in PM&R

Pathways in PM&R is co-hosted by Hunter Soleymani and Chayston Brown, who bring genuine enthusiasm and curiosity to their exploration of career paths and clinical topics within physical medicine and rehabilitation. The podcast is designed to illuminate the many different directions a career in PM&R can take, featuring interviews with physiatrists who have carved out unique niches and built practices that reflect their individual interests. Episodes cover everything from subspecialty fellowship experiences and research careers to private practice models and leadership roles in rehabilitation medicine. The hosts do a particularly good job of asking the questions that trainees and early-career physicians actually want answered, like how someone ended up in their specific role and what they wish they had known earlier in their career. This makes the show especially valuable for residents trying to figure out which direction to take after training and for medical students still deciding whether PM&R is the right fit. The conversational format keeps episodes engaging and the guests tend to be candid about both the rewards and challenges of their chosen paths. For anyone who has wondered what it actually looks like to practice physiatry in a specific setting or subspecialty, Pathways in PM&R offers the kind of insider perspective that is hard to find elsewhere.
