Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) has traditionally had strong representation from DOs, most recently filling 40.2 % of all PGY-1 positions in the 2024 residency match. However, significant variability exists in PM&R exposure across the 42 accredited osteopathic medical schools. This study explores how osteopathic students develop an interest in PM&R and assesses the availability of related institutional resources.

Concussions are some of the most common sports-related injuries in US high school athletes, yet concussions have a wide range of symptoms and stigma that lead to underreporting of symptoms to healthcare professionals and coaches. Previous studies have linked sleep disturbances to increased head injury risk in collegiate athletes, but less is known about this relationship in younger populations. With thousands of high school athletes sustaining concussions annually, this study aimed to explore associations between sleep quantity/quality and concussion history in high school athletes and if these vary by sex or other sociodemographic factors.
