Center For Rehab Medicine

What Center For Rehab Medicine does

The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine is an academic medical department that delivers three integrated lines of activity: clinical patient care, medical and professional education, and clinical/translational research. Its clinical offering provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation medicine services — including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and neuropsychology — to patients recovering from injury, surgery, stroke, and chronic neurological conditions, delivered through Emory Healthcare facilities in the Atlanta metropolitan area as part of the broader Emory Brain Health Center integrated network.

Its education portfolio comprises four core academic products: an ACGME-accredited Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program, a historically top-10 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, an ACGME-approved suite of Fellowships across rehabilitation medicine subspecialties, and a Neuropsychology Training Program. These programs train medical students, residents, fellows, and DPT students, with faculty support and editorial services for scholarly output. The department's research arm includes the Center for Physical Therapy and Movement Science, supporting bench, clinical, and translational science.

The revenue model is professional-services-based, anchored on clinical care delivery through Emory Healthcare and supplemented by tuition (DPT and other degree programs), research grants, and university funding — there is no independent corporate ownership or external investor base. Customer acquisition for clinical services relies on physician referrals and the Emory Healthcare network, while educational programs acquire students through admissions cycles. The department is consistently ranked as one of the top rehabilitation medicine programs in the country, with the Division of Physical Therapy holding a historical top-10 ranking, and maintains a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram alongside earned media coverage in outlets including Everyday Health, Medical Xpress, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
