Primary Care and Physical Medicine & Rehab: In Conversation

Nina Maisterra, MD, a primary care physician, and Christopher McMullen, MD, CAQSM, a physiatrist, care for patients at the University of Washington, in Seattle, where their desks are situated about 10 feet from one another in a multispecialty primary care outpatient clinic.

In a recent interview with Patient Care^®, the colleagues talked about the range of services physical medicine and rehabilitation offers and how primary care takes full advantage of the proximity of those services.
