Through physical medicine shadowing, you can learn some of the unique ways doctors are improving people’s lives. Be inspired and learn from a passionate physician that has years of knowledge!

During physical medicine and rehabilitation shadowing you will follow Cara Thomas MD. Dr. Thomas is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in spinal cord injury. She took a non-traditional path to medical school by first majoring in mathematics and political philosophy as an undergraduate at Brown University, after which she earned her Master’s in Public Health at Columbia University. When Dr. Thomas decided to pursue medicine, she completed a post-bac program and attended Stony Brook for medical school. Since then, she has trained at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital in Chicago and later at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida. Currently, Dr. Thomas works as a physiatrist in the inpatient setting, helping patients with a variety of injuries with a focus on spinal cord injuries. Her patients are recovering from trauma such as gun-shot wounds or health conditions like strokes.

Aside from work as a PM&R doctor, Dr. Thomas enjoys working with students interested in medicine as a physician advisor for MedSchoolCoach.
