2024 Fall Edition

BI-ISIG Member Kudos!

Congratulations to Tom Bergquist, Past Chair of the BI-ISIG and Co-Chair of the Cognitive Rehabilitation Task Force, for being awarded ACRM’s Distinguished Member Award for 2024. Tom will receive his award at the annual conference.

Congratulations to Amanda Rabinowitz, Secretary for the BI-ISIG and active member of the Mild TBI Task Force, for being awarded the BI-ISIG Joshua B. Cantor Scholar Award. The Cantor Scholar Award is presented by the Brain Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group (BI-ISIG) to a BI-ISIG member in recognition of outstanding research that is judged to be a significant contribution to the field of brain injury rehabilitation. The award is named in honor of Dr. Joshua B. Cantor, who was well known for his research on the effects of cognitive fatigue, sleep deprivation, and exercise on various aspects of life after TBI. His work also included efforts to enhance cognition and reduce depression, primarily through problem solving and emotion regulation training interventions. Dr. Cantor’s work was driven by his passion for developing and evaluating interventions that would give solace, meaning, and hope to individuals with TBI. Amanda will receive this award at the annual conference, during the BI-ISIG Summit meeting.
