Description
We propose a 60-minute virtual networking and Q&A session designed to connect physiatrists with valuable research resources and opportunities. This interactive event will provide a platform for physiatrists at all career stages to explore funding options, collaborative research initiatives, and institutional support available for advancing physiatric research. Attendees will learn about grant application strategies and discover ways to integrate research into their clinical practice. The session will also facilitate meaningful networking among participants, fostering connections that may lead to future collaborations. Through open discussion and Q&A, attendees will have the opportunity to address challenges, share experiences, and seek guidance on navigating the research landscape in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
