The Brain Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest
Group (BI-ISIG) is the largest subspecialty group in
the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine
(ACRM), a multidisciplinary rehabilitation organization
whose focus is to serve people with disabling conditions
by promoting rehabilitation research, advancing
clinical practice guidelines, and facilitating information
dissemination.
The BI-ISIG is dedicated to enhancing professional
development, supporting research, establishing
standards of practice, and facilitating interdisciplinary
collaboration in the service of individuals with brain
injury and their families.
The key work of the BI-ISIG is in its various task forces,
which give the opportunity to network, educate, and
publish with national and international colleagues in
areas of brain injury assessment and treatment.
The BI-ISIG sponsors a working meeting each year,
and time at the ACRM annual conference, providing in
each a professional forum for its task force members
to advance their work on cutting-edge projects and
products exemplifying the group’s mission.
The BI-ISIG welcomes and actively supports the
participation of early-career professionals, affording
them the opportunity to work in close collaboration
with experienced brain-injury professionals and enhance
their future careers.
ACRM members may join the BI-ISIG free-of-charge.
ACRM offers Institutional, Regular/International,
Early-Career, Student/fellow, and Consumer
Memberships, ranging from $85 - $350 per year.
