Physiatry, one of the six medical specialties that does not currently offer added or special qualification certification examinations, does not have accredited fellowships in potential subspecialty areas. These issues are currently being debated by the leadership organizations within physical medicine and rehabilitation such as the Association of Academic Physiatrists, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Review Committee and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Recent events, such as the establishment of funding agencies with an interest in medical rehabilitation research training, suggest that physiatric fellowships may become more available. A survey was conducted to determine whether physiatric residents desire postresidency training and, if interested, what type of additional training they would seek. This information could be used in formulating policies regarding the establishment, accreditation and certification of subspecialty fellowships within physical medicine and rehabilitation. Of 968 physiatric residents currently in training, 525 (54%) responded to a 22-question survey assessing resident interest regarding fellowship training, the different subspecialty areas, salary expectations, fellowship duration, preferred amount of time devoted to clinical v research work, mentorship, double boarding, accreditation, certification and a section for general comments. The results of the survey indicate considerable interest in fellowship training, which diminishes as residents approach graduation. Residents favored clinically oriented fellowships of 1-yr duration, which should be accredited and certified. Sports medicine was identified as the area of greatest subspecialty interest.
