“…Similar results on the level of collabora-tion with PRM physicians were observed in the Fourtassi study which was as follows: 57.7% of the physicians questioned never sought PRM advice, while 79% referred their patients directly to physiotherapists [5]. This lack of collaboration of training doctors of university hospitals with PRM could be explained by the paucity of institutions with rehabilitation care units, as well as by the low medical demography [5]. In the Saudi Arabian study, it was observed that 55% of the physicians referred their patients to PRM care.…”

“…These results are similar to the Fourtassi study, where 16.2% of the participating physicians were unaware that specialist training for physical medicine and rehabilitation is available in Morocco, and 19% thought that there were no specialists in this discipline practicing in Morocco [5]. In contrast, in SAUDI ARABIA 185 (92.5%) physicians reported knowing and/or having heard of PMR, while 40 (20%) responded that it was identical to physiotherapy [10].…”

The aim of our study is to evaluate the knowledge regarding physical medicine and rehabilitation among physicians in training and medical students at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech, to approach the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of doctors regarding physical medicine and rehabilitation and evaluate the knowledge in theoretical training related to PRM among the students. We conducted a monocentric cross-sectional analytical study, using a web-based anonymous survey, carried out among 558 undergraduate student and training doctors, randomly selected in the form of a survey on the knowledge towards Physical Medicine and rehabilitation. We received 558 survey duly completed by students of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Marrakech (62.4%) and training doctors (37.6%). The mean age of the participants was 24.53 ± 3.9 years, with extremes ranging from 17 to 39 years. 52.7% of the participants were from the former educational reform, The predominance of participation was remarkable among pediatricians 23%, The population who knew PRM was the majority (79.3%), 40.7% of the participants were unaware of the availability of a PRM department at Mohamed VI University Hospital, 0.5% of all training doctors and medical students questioned strongly agreed with the sufficiency of their training in disability management were belonging to the new reform, 84.1% of participants had never attended or referred a patient to the PRM department. 23.2% of training doctors affirmed the referral of patients to PRM for further management. Despite the essential role of PRM in the management of diseases, it remains little known by training doctors and medical students. This lack of knowledge of PRM reflects the lack of the undergraduate and postgraduate of the medical education in the field of rehabilitation.
