Networking and Career Development for Rehabilitation Researchers and Professionals

Jul 5, 2016

I would like to introduce you to the Early Career Networking Group (ECNG) of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM). This group offers tremendous benefits free of charge to students and early career professionals in the rehabilitation field. It is also an exciting opportunity for seasoned professionals who are interested in giving back, to share their knowledge and experience by becoming a member of our group. The mission of the ECNG is to provide our members with invaluable resources and networking opportunities that will foster the development and advancement of early career rehabilitation professionals.
Since 1923, ACRM has been committed to improving lives through rehabilitation research. By supporting young clinicians/ providers, researchers, and educators during the early stages of their careers, we hope to continue the advancement of evidence-based rehabilitative treatment into the next century and beyond.
