Program Highlights
The UAB Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation provides advanced inpatient and outpatient care and conducts important research to help improve the long-term function and quality of life for patients with an injury or disability. We are home to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, and we’ve helped advance research by serving as both a Traumatic Brain Injury Model System and Spinal Cord Injury Model System site for over 50 years. Much of our care is provided at UAB Spain Rehabilitation Center, one of only 15 U.S. facilities to earn the Dr. Joanne Smith Memorial Rehabilitation Innovation Center designation.
