Roger Luo, MD is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). He specializes in the non-operative management of musculoskeletal and sports injuries affecting the spine, peripheral joints, muscles and tendons.

He is an assistant professor of spine and musculoskeletal medicine and serves as the associate residency program director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He is active in a number of professional organizations and has presented or published several case studies on orthopedic, musculoskeletal and other injuries.

Dr. Luo and I both completed residency in PM&R at Rutgers-New Jersey Medicine School/Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Following graduation, he went on to complete a fellowship in Sports and Spine at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC.

Dr. Luo works as a physician and a coach for both his patients and students. He’s always finding new ways to motivate people — and that’s why I had to interview him for this podcast. Because it’s not always easy to be well.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What is PM&R or physiatry?
  • How to empower people who have limited resources to exercise.
  • Different ways to combat burnout in healthcare.
