The issue of increasing awareness of the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation is a primary concern of physiatrists in both teaching hospitals and private practice. Over the years, exposure to this specialty in medical schools has decreased, although there is simultaneously an increasing awareness of the importance of providing adequate musculoskeletal education for medical students. The authors describe one institution's success at integrating musculoskeletal medicine education, along with exposure to patients with chronic disease and disability. Curriculum content and a unique musculoskeletal skills acquisition test are discussed. Increased exposure to the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation in medical school can introduce numerous benefits for both the specialty and musculoskeletal education as a whole.
提高对物理医学与康复专业的认识这一问题，是教学医院和私人诊所的物理治疗师首要关注的问题。多年来，医学院校中对该专业的接触机会减少了，尽管与此同时，人们越来越意识到为医学生提供充分的肌肉骨骼教育的重要性。作者描述了一所机构在整合肌肉骨骼医学教育以及让学生接触慢性病和残疾患者方面所取得的成功。文中讨论了课程内容和一项独特的肌肉骨骼技能习得测试。医学院校增加对物理医学与康复专业的接触机会，对该专业以及整个肌肉骨骼教育都能带来诸多益处。
