The venue may have changed, but the expertise and excellent content has not.

I still wouldn’t miss the chance to hear the latest research and to interact with the experts in rehab medicine and research.

Deborah Backus, PT, PhD, FACRM

Learning doesn’t stop because we socially isolate.

Gathering virtually with your smartest colleagues is easy now, by attending the ACRM Conference. Not only do you get to hear the latest in rehabilitation research — you also get to interact, ask questions, support, and “hang out” with your peers and pals in the next World Iteration (World 2.020).

I came for the practical, evidence-based, highly relevant information, and found collaborators from other disciplines. Now, I attend ACRM Conference to present with my friends.

Susan Lin, ScD, OTR/L, FAOTA

The ACRM program provides a very comprehensive range of topics that offer innovative and clinically relevant content to meet the learning needs of rehab professionals.

I appreciate ACRM’s future-forward mindset in understanding that we may not know what the future of conference travel may bring, but ACRM is ready.

ACRM is still providing a venue for me to share my research findings, exchange knowledge, obtain continuing education credit, and network, given the uncertainties regarding my state’s and employer’s possible travel restrictions.

ACRM is a dynamic collaboration at the global level with the opportunity to share your research with others regardless of the format.

Lynne Gauthier

There are so many exciting sessions to learn new information and network with others.

I think the symposium and instructional courses look great! It will be hard to choose what to attend. Thankfully, with the virtual format, we can see it all!

Linda Ehrlich-Jones, RN, PhD

Assistant Director, Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

I was highly impressed with the virtual format! The platform was easy to navigate and I appreciated the ability to search by topic of interest and presentation type. In addition to the impressive lectures and comprehensive content, the opportunities to interact with the speakers and network with colleagues exceeded my expectations. Excellent conference, ACRM!

Brianne Darcy, PT, DPT

Clinical Research Manager, Moterum Technologies, Inc.

ACRM is not only a great network of interdisciplinary members across all aspects of rehabilitation medicine, but we are a family.

The annual conference is a prime venue to meet and build relationships with other professionals that share the same passion, commitment and thirst for knowledge. I have attended a number of conferences which make me feel energetic and motivated to take on the field in the moment… The major difference with ACRM though is that through our ISIGs and NGs, this energy and motivation does not die after we leave the conference. The connections continue and the Task Forces and Committees move on the ideas generated throughout the conference and progress is made.
