RehabCast: The Rehabilitation Medicine Update

RehabCast is the official podcast of the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, one of the most prestigious journals in the field. Hosted by Dr. Bill Niehaus, the show brings listeners closer to the research that shapes rehabilitation medicine practice. Each episode features in-depth interviews with scientists and clinicians whose work has been published in the journal, giving listeners context and insight that goes well beyond what a paper abstract can convey. The podcast covers the full scope of rehabilitation medicine including physiatry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and rehabilitation nursing. This interdisciplinary approach reflects the collaborative nature of rehabilitation care and exposes listeners to perspectives they might not encounter within their own discipline. Episodes also include news briefs covering developments relevant to rehabilitation clinicians. For physiatrists and other rehabilitation professionals who want to stay current with the evidence base but struggle to find time to read every new study, RehabCast is an invaluable shortcut. Hearing researchers explain their work in conversation reveals nuances that published papers sometimes obscure. The show has been running for years and has built up an impressive archive of episodes covering major topics across rehabilitation medicine. It remains one of the most respected and widely listened-to podcasts in the PM&R space.
