Overview
What you will study
- Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination is vital to facilitate early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting.
- While clinical trials support the benefits of early rehabilitation for mechanically ventilated patients, implementing these interventions requires creating a new ICU culture based on proactive rehabilitation and interdisciplinary collaboration between all critical care and rehabilitation clinicians.
- The Annual Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation offered by Johns Hopkins University will bridge the interdisciplinary gap from research to clinical implementation at the bedside.

- early rehabilitation and mobility in critically ill adults and children.
