Michigan State PM&R was one of the few, long-standing AOA-affiliated PM&R residencies in the country. In light of the ACGME residency merger, we will continue to pursue “Osteopathic Recognition” to build upon our program’s reputation of furthering the field of osteopathic medicine in the world of physiatry.

Congrats to Dr. Quach, one of our PGY-3 residents, on this appointment! He will be serving a 2-year term (2021-2022). For more about the AMA House of Delegates, you can visit: https://www.aapmr.org/advocacy/academy-in-action/collaborations/ama-house-of-delegate-state-chapters

Dr. Lawrence Prokop was one of four distinguished leaders to have been selected to receive the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine’s highest honor, The Walter F. Patenge Medal of Public Service Award. A 1980 graduate from the College of Osteopathic Medicine, his 40 years of practice in osteopathic medicine have been split between patient care, medical education, and research. Thank you for your service Dr. Prokop!
