The central role of this special symposium is to assist the ACRM to fulfill its vision of equality for women in rehabilitation science by exposing its membership to successful female scientist role models, recognized and respected for their unique contributions to the field of rehabilitation science. The presenters chosen for this years’ special symposium, Dr. Lisa Barnes, and Dr. Sue Ann Sisto, have been successful in rehabilitation research and scholarship in their own right. They have distinguished themselves though their scholarship, career leadership and research in the field of rehabilitation psychology, medicine, geriatrics, neurology, physical therapy and at the NIH.
