The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) (originally the American College of Radiology and Physiotherapy)[1][2] is an organization of rehabilitation professionals dedicated to serving people with disabling conditions by supporting research that promotes health, independence, productivity, and quality of life; and meets the needs of rehabilitation clinicians and people with disabilities.
In order to enhance current and future research and knowledge translation, ACRM assists researchers in improving their investigations and dissemination of findings, educates providers to use evidence generated by research and deliver best practices, and advocates for funding of rehabilitation research.
The ACRM is a global community of both researchers and consumers of research in the field of rehabilitation. ACRM is the only United States-based professional association representing all members of the interdisciplinary medical rehabilitation team, including: physicians, psychologists, rehabilitation nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, speech-language pathologists, recreation specialists, case managers, rehabilitation counselors, vocational counselors, and disability management specialists.[3]
