The Clinician Scientist Program

The Clinician Scientist Program at Sheltering Arms Institute implements the best care tools such as technology, facilitates knowledge translation, measures clinical outcomes, and addresses barriers to best practices in physical rehabilitation. Our dedication to restoring possibilities for patients through a knowledge-to-action process provides us with a unique opportunity and responsibility to inform researchers and study participants of future study topics.

The results are a continuous insight into how we achieve ideal outcomes and understand questions that still require answers. Gaps in knowledge or practice are addressed with internal improvement or research processes while continually focusing on enhancing patient outcomes.

Sheltering Arms Institute’s culture, organizational structure, and physical space have been intentionally designed to support this unique clinical science vision in the field of rehabilitation.
