Project Description:

The University of Nebraska Medical Center's Graduate Studies Program in Medical Sciences Interdepartmental Area and the Munroe Meyer Institute (MMI) offer a PhD program that provides students with independent study, investigation, and research skills in rehabilitation science that will prepare students for prominent leadership positions in academic, clinical, and research arenas. The doctoral program focuses on clinical biomechanics, gait, motor control and brain imaging for children, adolescents, and families. The training model for the program is similar to other programs used to train researchers and scientists, in which principles and concepts introduced in the classroom are immediately applied in a clinical and research setting.
