Information & Education Task Force
The Education Task Force has the goal to provide opportunities to members to develop and publish materials related to complementary, alternative and integrative medicine that are designed to provide consumer-friendly information on topics relevant to rehabilitation medicine, including basic background or overview as well as provide opportunities for members to work collaboratively in scientific peer-review publications. These can be targeted toward people with disabilities, caregivers, clinicians, policymakers, and researchers.
If you have an idea for a publication or want to join the CIRM Education Task Force, please contact Shilpa Krishnan.
