If hit a student of fleshly therapy degree, how long after that will it verify to intend a physiatry degree? Will it still verify the aforementioned turn of time although I will already hit a background in fleshly penalization and rehab. I'm really earnest most this. If you are an MD that knows anything most this, fleshly therapist, or hit any background in this area, gratify help me. If you just hit no intent or some haphazard person googles this, then don't even bother to place an answer. I don't poverty just any haphazard person answering.

An MD degree takes 4 years, physiatry training an additional 4 years. Because the objectives of training are different, I doubt that you'll obtain any assign from your PT degree applied towards the physiatry training.

I agree with big dog. You'd have to first go backwards and complete your pre med prerequisites much as microbiology, advanced organic chem, and take your MCATs etc. Then you would need to attend 4 years of medical edifice followed by a act in physiatry. At best, you might get assign for attractive large human anatomy. If your intention is to become a physiatrist, I'd go straight to medical edifice and not PT school. Remember that the pore in PT is physical treatment, patch in physiatrity, the pore is on MEDICAL treatment for people with physical needs. Your expertise module come in medicine and medication reviews (such as prescribing baclofen or recommending certain diagnostic tests).
