ACRM Early Career Development Course

The Early Career Development Course is a perennial favorite at ACRM that connects early career rehabilitation researchers with prominent and accomplished professionals. The course will provide opportunities to learn from experts in interdisciplinary team science, government agency representatives, and distinguished scientists who will provide insights through didactic presentations, panel discussions, small group discussions, and one-on-one networking. 

ACRM Leadership Development Course

Know what you want to get accomplished, but not how to put it into a plan that will guide progress, gain buy-in, and secure resources? This workshop will give you practical tools and a flexible process to lead others through the planning process or develop a plan yourself. During this workshop, you will learn why and how to map stakeholders, do visioning, set measurable objectives, analyze opportunities and barriers, develop actionable initiatives, prioritize the work, and sell the plan to leadership for approval. We will use a case study to bring the concepts to life, and you will walk away with tools and templates that you can use for your own plans.
