Richard Lieber, PhD presented on enhancing collaborations between researchers and clinicians in a CHPPRR Lecture Series event titled Enhancing Researcher-Clinician Collaborations in Rehabilitation Medicine – Experiences from the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab on January 19, 2023 at 12:00 noon in room 3.200 in the Health Education Center.
CHPPRR Leadership attended UTMB’s Research Day on May 4, 2023. Missy Morrow, PhD and Judi Linton, MS, PT met with attendees during the Cores and Centers exhibit to showcase the opportunities and resources the center has to offer.
CHPPRR researchers, faculty, and residents received training on the use of the center’s new Biodex System 4 Dynamometer in April.
