Dr. Finger, Thank you for this article. I am a practicing Internist for many years. During my residency I had the opportunity to do a month long elective rotation in PM&R with a great clinician. I am so glad that I did because it was a really informative experience and I have used it over the years in my practice. Your article gives very practical advice for primary care physicians. Thanks again Jun. 13, 2022, at 2:58 pm Reply
The late Dr. Ernest Johnson was one of my professors at OSU during residency. As a neurosurgical resident I learned so much from him. Jun. 15, 2022, at 8:42 pm Reply
Excellent for information and challenge to others of us in the profession. I work regularly from a health plan platform as a medical director with PM&Rs on site at many facilities. More dialogue with them has facilitated improved patient/member outcomes and efficient use of health care resources. DO PM&Rs really get the whole bio-psycho-social approach to care. We need more of them. Jun. 30, 2022, at 12:21 pm Reply
