Residents have protected time every Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lectures

outside speakers, and residents. Didactics also include interactive sessions
and quizzes with the Program Director to cover core material. Additionally,
residents participate in weekly board review, regular journal club, and
multidisciplinary collaborations like gait rounds and rehab rounds. Residents
participate in hospital committees including Peer Review, PM&R committee,
and Patient Satisfaction, among others.
Research
There are abundant research opportunities for residents at Casa Colina.
The residents can work closely with Caroline Schnakers, PhD, who is the
Assistant Director of the Casa Colina Research Institute and an expert
in disorders of consciousness and brain injury. Residents receive a research
lecture series from Dr. Schnakers as part of their didactics. This support
allows residents to create or participate in a variety of research projects.
