In Brief
Dr. Lisa Krivickas is an Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Harvard Medical School, Associate Chief of PM&R at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Director of EMG at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. She received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell University and her M.D. from Harvard Medical School. She completed a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) at UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School and Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation, and a fellowship in electromyography and neuromuscular disease in the Department of Neurology at the Cleveland Clinic. She has over 60 publications including peer-reviewed scientific papers, book chapters, and review articles. Dr. Krivickas current research involves the study of muscle physiology in neuromuscular disorders and aging, investigation of new electrophysiologic techniques for the assessment of neuromuscular disorders, and clinical trials for ALS and other neuromuscular diseases. She has been elected to the Board of Trustees of the American College of Sports Medicine and is a Director for the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. She is a member of the Neuromuscular Medicine Examination Committee of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She received the 2006 Young Academician Award from the Association of Academic Physiatrists.
