Understanding Rehabilitation Content Development Project
Description[edit | edit source]
This project aims to develop content related to understanding rehabilitation. We intend to populate the site with practical, credible and thought-provoking information and knowledge that physiotherapists should have to effectively work within rehabilitation services. Much of this content development has been guided by Rehabilitation 2030: A Call for Action.
Anyone is welcome to join in this project. You will be joining people from all over the world in contributing evidence based articles to create an evidence based reference on refugee health and for physiotherapists who work with displaced individuals. In return for your efforts you will receive a certificate of completion to help you evidence your learning through your involvement with this project.
