  • 6Th Annual Current Concepts in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation April 24
    6th Annual Current Concepts in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation April 24, 2021 Virtual Conference Sponsored by: UPMC Rehabilitation Institute, Center for Spinal Cord Injury UPMC Center for Continuing Education in the Health Sciences University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Overview Nearly 18,000 individuals in the U.S. sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) each year. Additionally, while non-traumatic SCI can be difficult to track, it is estimated to be roughly the same amount as traumatic injuries per year. The care of persons with SCI requires an interdisciplinary approach across the continuum of care. Providers should be aware of current evidence and care techniques for both traumatic and non-traumatic SCI across the continuum from initial injury, medical complications, many phases of rehab, and community reintegration. The 6th Annual Current Concepts in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation will introduce and review a variety of topics relevant to persons with SCI. Topics will focus on areas important to all team members, throughout the continuum of care. Current Concepts in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation will address, through lectures and discussion, the treatments and strategies employed at the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute. Conference goals are in line with the missions of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute to advance health, expand knowledge, and improve care through research, teaching rehabilitation services, and medical care. Learning Objectives 1. Attendees will describe current evidence-based practice trends related to specialty populations and specific comorbidities of SCI that are outside of the typical SCI rehabilitation 2.
