5DEC 2024 RESTON VA: Picture this: You’re walking through the iconic halls of the Hilton Chicago, buzzing with energy as professionals from around the globe gather to connect, learn, and shape the future of rehabilitation. You’ve planned your schedule carefully because you know that before the main event begins, two transformative opportunities await.

The ACRM Early Career Development Course
For those just starting their journey, this course is like a career GPS, guiding you through the challenges and opportunities of the field. Attendees leave inspired, armed with practical advice on publishing, networking and navigating the often tricky transitions from students through post-doc through mid-career.

“At ACRM, I found GREAT mentors. I was introduced to what I think will be great opportunities of creating research, doing more of implementation science towards hopefully really changing the world of healthcare and health system.” —Jamilah Alqahtani, University of Cincinnati, PhD Candidate 

The ACRM Leadership Development Course
Concurrently, in the adjacent room, seasoned professionals and rising stars gather to hone their leadership skills. Whether it’s learning how to lead with confidence or discovering innovative ways to inspire teams, this course isn’t just about growing careers — it’s about driving the future of rehabilitation and upping everyone’s game. With a fresh theme each year, the takeaways are always new, practical, and energizing.

Here’s what one attendee had to say:

“Thank you for this excellent course. I loved every minute of it. It was extremely well-organized and highly engaging. I look forward to applying all I learned today. What a great way to start ACRM conference week!”
—Tracey Wallace, MS, CCC-SLP; SHARE Military Initiative Projects & Education Coordinator, Shepherd Center
