Advocacy
Our mission is to address health disparities in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and advocate for the health, independence, and quality of life of people with disabilities — both inside and outside of the doctor's office.
What we run
One program, done well.
- Getting involved
Advocacy & PM&R panel
Annually, late summer
Zoom
Residents, attendings, and social workers on the patients they serve across Pennsylvania and the policies that help or hinder their care.

Worth knowing
The specifics.
- The 2026 Advocacy & PM&R panel lineup included residents from Tower Health, UPMC, and Carolinas Rehabilitation, plus Dr. Ari Greis of Rothman Orthopaedics.
- Panel questions dig into realistic student advocacy projects, insurance and policy barriers to rehab, and the patient experience.
- The committee also coordinates fellowship-wide volunteer days, including Inglis House's Keen Games.
