PMReport

PMReport is a podcast created by residents and faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, one of the established PM&R training programs in the country. The show explores the latest trends, controversies, and advances in physical medicine and rehabilitation with the goal of engaging both clinicians and non-clinicians in the specialty. Episodes feature discussions on clinical topics, research findings, and professional issues that are relevant to the broader PM&R community. What distinguishes PMReport is its willingness to tackle subjects that other podcasts in the space might avoid, including controversial treatment approaches, healthcare policy debates, and the challenges facing the specialty. The resident involvement brings fresh perspectives and keeps the content grounded in the realities of current training. Faculty contributions add depth and experience. The podcast serves as a window into how one academic program approaches PM&R education and clinical practice, which can be valuable for residents at other institutions who want to see how different programs handle similar topics. For practicing physiatrists, the show offers a mix of clinical updates and broader commentary on the state of the field. The production has an authentic, program-driven feel that reflects the collaborative nature of academic rehabilitation medicine. Episodes are available on major podcast platforms and the back catalog covers a wide range of clinical and professional topics relevant to the PM&R community.
