See, hear, witness this New Model of CARE

Be among the VERY FIRST to hear about a new and innovative model of care that will transform how we talk about rehabilitation. Attendees will learn about cutting-edge concepts that integrate research directly into clinical practice.

Participants will learn about a new approach to clinical research and patient care that informed the design of the new research hospital, AbilityLab, scheduled to open in March 2017. By literally breaking down the walls between science and clinical care, RIC is making a $550 million investment to change the way research is conducted, accelerate clinical breakthroughs, and improve patient outcomes.

Hear directly from the researchers and clinicians who built this advanced knowledge translation concept over the past 7 years, and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Joanne C. Smith, who will discuss how these innovations are being adopted in the new hospital. Participants will have the opportunity to tour the  AbilityLab  prototype on the 9th floor of RIC.

 

This is a ticketed event. Separate registration required.
