Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (UW-ARRT)
The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the University of Washington School of Medicine is initiating a UW-ARRT fellowship program to provide advanced rehabilitation research training for post-doctoral rehabilitation professionals. In any one year two post-doctoral fellows will participate in training.
Mentored Research and Training Opportunities:
The mentored research opportunities provided by the fellowship can focus on any one of many aspects of rehabilitation research, including, but not limited to:
- disparities in access to health services
- chronic pain and fatigue
- community-based rehabilitation interventions
- use of IRT to improve measurement of rehabilitation outcomes
- neural control of movement
- biomechanical movement analysis
- traumatic brain injury
- multiple sclerosis
- health promotion in persons with disabilities
- amputation and prosthetics
- speech disorders
- psychological distress in persons with disabilities
- pain and fatigue in youth with disabilities
- technology and disability
- hypnosis or virtual reality to treat disability
- improving employment outcomes
The comprehensive UW-ARRT training will include immersion in a mentored research experience, matching post-doctoral fellows with highly successful rehabilitation researchers. In addition, each fellow will participate in complimentary core and individualized didactics, supporting his or her development as a rehabilitation researcher. UW-ARRT will join an outstanding and highly interdisciplinary community of research scientists.
