The Annual TBI Model Systems Therapy Leadership Forum is a collaborative meeting of current and former TBI Model Systems centers designated by NIDILRR.  Each of these centers operates as either for profit or not for profit institutions. The Annual Model Systems Therapy Leadership Forum will welcome up to five therapists/nurses from each TBI center. These therapists are active leaders at their TBI centers who are responsible for varied clinical and operational duties.
