Introduction

The global need for rehabilitation continues to grow. Many people who require rehabilitation are not receiving it, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Barriers include ineffective and underutilised referral pathways to rehabilitation with poor integration of rehabilitation services at the primary health care level. Doctors are in a unique position to help facilitate referrals and integration of rehabilitation at this level. This course discusses what rehabilitation is, who is involved, and the role that doctors can play in interdisciplinary rehabilitation.

Aims

This course aims to provide doctors with an overview of rehabilitation and discuss the role doctors can play as members of the interdisciplinary rehabilitation team.
