The Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine will afford interprofessional teams the opportunity to devote themselves to the study and practice of this area of medicine, with specific emphasis on providing services for wounded veterans. Plans are in place to collaborate with local health care facilities and organizations that work with veterans. In addition to the School of Medicine, this institute will involve other health professions to address issues in rehabilitation.
The institute will make use of the university's advanced technology and equipment, including the Motion Analysis Lab. The collaborative work conducted at this institute will endeavor to not only improve the health and mobility of individuals in need of rehabilitation, but also improve their quality of life.
