Forward18th Annual Rehabilitation Research Day
UPMC Rehabilitation Institute in partnership with the Schools of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation co-sponsor an interdisciplinary annual research day. Faculty presenters, Drs. Janet Bettger and Sara Cuccurullo, will present on multidisciplinary research and clinical practice in the field of rehabilitation. Dr. Cuccurullo is appointed as Chair at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief of Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services of Hackensack Meridian Health Network. Her clinical research is focused on Rehabilitation of Stroke patients utilizing cardiovascular conditioning at the JFK Johnson Stroke Recovery Program. The research includes the Stroke-HEARTTM Trials and the upcoming Stroke Recovery Program CROSS (Cardiac Rehabilitation of Stroke Survivors) trials. Dr. Bettger is a Tenured Associate Professor in the Duke University School of Medicine Department of Orthopaedic Surgery with a secondary appointment in the School of Nursing.

The highest scored trainee abstracts in trainee categories ranging from undergraduates to residents will present their studies as oral presentations, while the remaining abstract submissions will be presented as posters during a poster session. This educational intervention will provide attendees with the latest updates in critical areas of basic, clinical, and translational research in rehabilitation, which will improve patient care and bench-to-bedside translation of research.
