Detailed Program
Monday, December 4, 2006
Sessions throughout the day will describe the state of rehabilitation and treatment for single-trauma patients, as well as provide an overview of current efforts directed towards Polytrauma patients. Break out sessions during the afternoon will provide an opportunity for groups to meet and consider methodologies, technologies, and scientific/engineering research projects that are likely to be critical to success of the envisioned Polytrauma program. In the evening, there will be a special session of patient testimonials that will be moderated by Susan Dentzer, of the Jim Lehrer show on PBS.
