Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Kaveri Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (KARM) and St.
John’s Medical College & Hospital we extend a very warm welcome to all
participants of the IAPMR Midterm CME 2021.
Considering the restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic the CME
will be a virtual event. The Organizing Committee has strived to make the
content and theme of this conference relevant and contemporary to the
prevailing conditions.
The pandemic has posed many challenges and has caused us to reflect on the
ways we practice. We have all risen to the challenge and have taken up new
roles as rehabilitation professionals.
We look forward to greeting you virtually and hope that all of you will have
plenty of opportunity to share knowledge, consolidate friendships and build
long-lasting memory during this meeting.
With warm regards,
Dr. Kurian Zachariah
