ABOUT THE REHABILITATION RESEARCH CENTER
For the past quarter century Santa Clara Valley Medical Center has been actively involved in the "Model Systems" projects sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. These projects allowed centers of excellence to expand in the areas of clinical improvement, outcome research, and community programs. Past Principal Investigators have included Sheldon Berrol, MD, Conal Wilmot, MD, Karyl Hall, EdD., Peter Werner, MD, and Kazuko Shem, MD. Their work has greatly improved the field of rehabilitation and the lives of individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries.
The Principal Investigators of the current TBI Model System Project are Jeffrey Englander, MD and Tamara Bushnik, PhD. The RRC staff continue to work closely with the clinical staff to enhance the care offered during inpatient rehabilitation, develop continuity of care after discharge, and conduct TBI & SCI-related research.
The RRC is located at Santa Clara Medical Center.
