Rehabilitation Outcomes Research Center (RORC)

RORC INVESTIGATORS

One of the Rehabilitation Outcomes Research Center's strongest assets is its outstanding group of experienced VA rehabilitation and health service researchers. The research team is reflective of the multidisciplinary group of rehabilitation providers (neurologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, geriatricians, physical and occupational therapists, nurses, speech language pathologists, and psychologists) and established methodologists, sociologists and experts in VA databases complement them.
