Membership Information

Our Invitation

In this era of managed care, there is an increasing emphasis on functional outcomes and the need for research to document the efficacy of rehabilitation interventions.

A key objective of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for networking and dissemination of information which promotes and facilitates rehabilitation research.

By educating, collaborating, sharing information and resources, and assisting our interdisciplinary rehabilitation colleagues, we can accomplish a great deal more than working in more isolated practice and research settings.

Message from Cynthia Dahlberg, MA, CCC, CPHQ

Member-At-Large, ACRM Board of Governors.

As membership chair, I am asking all current ACRM members to step up to the plate and consider recruiting new members. This word of mouth marketing is a powerful tool, as the benefits of ACRM are more believable and compelling when heard directly from a friend or colleague. So please scout around for dynamic, enthusiastic rehabilitation researchers – we are the organization for them! Also consider approaching your organization to join the ACRM Partnership Program to provide benefits to your organization and increase participation of your staff, including residents and students.

The ACRM is offering several special introductory offers for new members:

• Residents / Students/ Fellows (2 years at $50)
• Archives Authors and Co-Authors
• NIDRR Grant Awardees (50% off on first two years of membership)
• NIH Grant Awardees (50% off on first two years of membership)
• Transition from Resident / Student / Fellow to Active Membership
• Recent Graduates / early career entrant
• Add-a-Member campaign from September through August – the member that recruits the most new members through the 12-month period will receive a complimentary registration to the current year's annual conference or 2 years paid membership to ACRM.
