The Sixth Edition: Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program (SDPEP) 2005
S1
FOREWORD
The Sixth Edition: Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program (SDPEP) 2005 HE SELF-DIRECTED PHYSIATRIC Education Program Study Guide and Self-Assessment Examination for PracT titioners (SAE-P) contained in this supplemental issue of the Archives are part of the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R). On matters of physiatric practice, the opinions expressed are those of the individual authors. THE SIXTH EDITION This Medical Education Issue comprises the first and second installments of the Sixth Edition Study Guide. The Sixth Edition Study Guide continues the process of the previous editions of presenting information on advances in the rehabilitation sciences with particular focus on updated clinical considerations. Based on feedback from practicing physiatrists using the Study Guide, the faculty committees have expanded the useful text by formulating learning objectives that exemplify many of the dilemmas faced in clinical physiatric practice. The authors have emphasized issues such as aging with disability and functional outcome measures in recognition of the current realities facing physiatric practitioners. Learners will find information on electrodiagnosis, therapeutic modalities, orthotics and prosthetics, and age-related issues throughout the topics presented in the Sixth Edition of the Study Guide. The Sixth Edition must be able to reflect the scope of practice of physical medicine and rehabilitation, while maintaining a publishing cycle that allows the learner to remain current. The Sixth Edition will address the following topics: 2005 ● Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnosis ● Rehabilitation of Orthopedic and Rheumatologic Disorders 2006 ● Acquired Limb Deficiencies ● Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Cancer Rehabilitation 2007 ● Industrial Rehabilitation Medicine and Acute Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation ● Spinal Cord Injury Medicine
2008 2009
● Congenital and Acquired Brain Injury ● Interventions in Chronic Pain Management ● Rehabilitation of Stroke and Neurodegenerative
Disorders and Performing Arts Medicine
● Sports
Acknowledgments: The Study Guide Subcommittee wishes to acknowledge the commitment of the 2 faculty committees represented in this issue. Chaired by Faren H. Williams, MD, MS (Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnosis), and Robert J. Kaplan, MD (Rehabilitation of Orthopedic and Rheumatologic Disorders), the faculty committees approached this voluntary scholarly endeavor with enthusiasm and dedication to produce the best possible product for their peers. Thanks also go to Venu Akuthota, MD, Michelle S. Gittler, MD, Virginia S. Nelson, MD, MPH, Atul T. Patel, MD, and Amy C. Phelan, MD, DVM, who served as Self-Assessment Examination Subcommittee liaisons and authored the SAE-P questions associated with the study guide articles. The Study Guide Subcommittee would like to thank the members of the AAPM&R Medical Education Committee, chaired by Steve R. Geiringer, MD, for their ongoing interest in and support of this annual project. Thanks go as well to Cheryl L. Wilder, ELS, for her continued editorial guidance. I would personally like to thank the 3 other members of the Study Guide Subcommittee, Phillip R. Bryant, DO, Alberto Esquenazi, MD, and Ira G. Rashbaum, MD, for their hard work and dedication to this process.
