Message from the President of AQIPA

AQIPA, in association with the CIUSSS de la Capitale Nationale, is extremely proud to welcome Dr Robert Gailey, an expert in the field of amputee rehabilitation. This long-awaited seminar will focus on the interventions with our most common type of lower limb amputee population.

Dr Gailey is a world-renowned physiotherapist who has contributed in multiple ways throughout his career to the development and improvement of rehabilitation services for amputees of all activity levels. Through this interactive seminar, Dr Gailey will present the most up to date evidence-based treatments for amputees with low to moderate functional levels.

Through this event, AQIPA hopes to fulfill its mission and offer its members the chance to learn, discuss and share their knowledge with colleagues working in the same field.

We look forward to welcoming you all to this event.
