Chairman's Message

Welcome to the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Missouri – Columbia. I invite you to explore our website to learn about our programs, facilities, faculty, residents, and staff as well as the city of Columbia.

I was happy to join the department in August, 2002. My family and I enjoy the lifestyle here in Columbia. Mizzou Tiger athletic events, Big 12 sports, the University Concert Series, Twilight Nights in downtown Columbia, access to the Katy Trail, an excellent school system, and the active and exciting lifestyle of a college town are only a few of the reasons that we are enjoying ourselves so much. If you have never visited Columbia, you are missing a true “hidden gem.”

Our department celebrated its 45th successful year in 2007. As the world around us constantly changes, it brings us exciting new opportunities to develop innovative programs that service the needs of our patients, providers, residents, staff, and the University.

I thank you for visiting our website. Do not hesitate to send us questions or suggestions. However, please pardon any delay in response as we may be busy having too much fun working to continually improve our department. What a great job it is working in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation!

Sorry to cut it short, but I have to go work on our department’s 46th year!

GO TIGERS!
