Description

The session will engage the audience in a discussion of their clinical, education, advocacy, and research landscapes in the field of limb loss, difference, and preservation rehabilitation. For each of the four landscapes, we will combine polling, illustration of ongoing work with examples, and informal discussions around these examples. By sharing these experiences and knowledge, we aim to foster the engagement of PM&R physicians as team leaders in this field and enhance rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with limb loss and difference.
