SCI Forum Schedule

Tuesday, September 9, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

What the heck are the Model Systems and what have they done for me lately?

The Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System (NWRSCIS), which produces the SCI Forums, is one of 14 federally funded Model Systems of spinal cord injury care and research in the U.S. If you received your inpatient rehabilitation from the UW, Harborview, or any of the Model Systems, you may even be a part of the ongoing Model System research. What do these Model Systems do and how are they benefiting people with SCI? Chuck Bombardier, director of the NWRSCIS, will talk about the past, present and future research efforts of the Model Systems and how their findings are improving the lives of people with SCI.

Bonus: Premiere of a Video Short (with Popcorn!)

Don’t miss the premiere showing of the first in what we hope will be a series of short videos profiling the lives of people with SCI. The purpose of these videos is to give newly injured people and their families a glimpse into life after SCI, which can be full of many of the same activities, goals and achievements that it did before injury. Our first offering is about a member of the UW community who sustained a C5-6 injury 11 years ago..
