Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore)

Part of CAREhab 2020, the 6th Singapore Rehabilitation Conference is co-organised with Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore).

The Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore) or SRMS is a not for profit professional organization representing rehabilitation medicine physicians in Singapore.

Rehabilitation Medicine aims to restore function. We treat patients with severe disabilities such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury with tetraplegia or paraplegia, cancer and orthopedic disorders including amputations and fractures. We also care for patients with acute and chronic pain and are involved in a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain and work/sports-related injuries. We approach each patient through a rehabilitation specialist or multidisciplinary holistic team approach, using a wide range of medications, interventions and devices such as braces and prostheses, therapies, robotics and modalities to achieve optimal outcomes.

The mission of the SRMS is to promote the development of Rehabilitation Medicine in Singapore and to improve education and research in all areas of this medical field. We also aim to unite and further the co-operation between rehabilitation physicians, allied health professionals and other related professionals and individuals in rehabilitation.
