For a physician to become specialist in physiatry; what are the qualities required?
A basic medical doctor degree should first be achieved after successfully completing four years of medical school education; doctors need to study four additional years to receive a post doctoral degree. To achieve American board certification, they are required to take both oral and written examinations. Special training programs are necessary to gain practical experience to become capable of treating patients completely and accurately. Generally, a physician deals with illness and removes possible threats to life. But the physicians at Westside Spine and Sports Medicine in Manhattan do more than that as they are committed with the flexibility to fulfill all the specific needs of patients so that they can fully restore their health condition.
To develop and successfully carry out the rehabilitation plan, physiatrists organize a team consisting of health care professionals who specializes in various rehabilitation specialties. The rehabilitation team includes massage therapists, physical therapists and chiropractors. The key to our success lies in our team approach in which the patient is also a part of the multidisciplinary team. All these treatments are performed at our premises at Westside Spine and Sports Medicine, New York City.
