The Rehabilitation Science Research Network held its inaugural International Forum on COVID Rehabilitation Research on Friday April 21, 2023. The Forum and the Network are supported by Temerty Faculty of Medicine. The aims of the Forum were to facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE), collaborations and partnerships in COVID rehabilitation research and practice. This Forum was a collaboration with the multiple partners and members of the Network who have been instrumental in advancing evidence and practice in COVID rehabilitation, including Long COVID Physio, the Rehabilitative Care Alliance, Patient-Led Research Collaborative, and FISIOCAMERA.

Over 250 people, representing over 20 countries, participated in the Forum either virtually or in-person. This included people with lived experiences, health care professionals, policy makers, and researchers with an interest in COVID rehabilitation. 

The Forum included over 20 presenters from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Presentations included two Keynotes and two Research Evidence Sessions.
