Calling Volunteer Faculty for Africa Fellowship!
Our solution to building rehabilitation medicine is transferring the power of knowledge to the hands of local health providers. IRF trains local physicians in Sub-Saharan Africa with PM&R specialty and offers an arena to join forces to create a change. IRF Africa Fellows are the leaders who pioneer bringing unprecedented PM&R knowledge and practice to African countries.
Each year, we have new incoming fellows, who start the program in January. We need your help in teaching these leaders and submerging them in varying areas of PM&R.
Currently seeking volunteers for :
