WHAT IS A PHYSIATRIST?
A physiatrist is a physician that specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. A physiatrist is similar to a physical therapist, but there are some differences. For one, physiatrists are physicians who have gone through four years of medical school and completed a residency. Physical therapists are not required to go to a medical school, though they do have to complete a physical therapy degree program at a college or university. A physiatrist is specially trained in musculoskeletal treatment and diagnosis and can prescribe treatment plans, exercise regimens, and physical therapy. Physiatrists and physical therapists work together when treating patients and throughout the rehabilitation process.
