American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) is a nonprofit national medical specialty organization representing more than 9,000 physiatrists, physicians who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Physiatrists treat a broad range of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons, drawing on both innovative and established therapies to maximize function and quality of life. Based in Rosemont, Illinois, the organization supports its professional community through guidance, education, and standards that shape PM&R practice. It operates within the nonprofit sector to advance the PM&R specialty and the care it enables. A notable recent development is the July 26, 2024 release of the Curriculum for Training in Orthobiologics, reflecting ongoing efforts to expand training and set standards for emerging orthobiologic treatments within the field.
