Letter from the Editors

 


Dear Readers,

It is with great enthusiasm that we are excited to bring you our much-awaited issue 16 of rehabINK! At rehabINK we are a community of passionate students studying rehabilitation science who strive to bring you a vibrant tapestry of diverse voices and perspectives. I am happy to announce that this year we have many new members at rehabINK; they filled vital roles such as Creative Director, Managing Editor, and Promotions. As our team grows, we are eager to foster a sense of unity within and beyond the rehabilitation science community. In this issue, we aim to highlight achievements, challenges and personal journeys within the rehabilitation science community.

We encourage our readers to actively engage with us through sharing experiences, opinions and ideas. This may be through submitting an article for our Summer 2024 issue, interacting with our social media posts or by simply sharing an article of interest with a family member, friend, or colleague. Together, we believe that rehabINK gives us a platform to promote awareness, understanding and progress. We look forward to celebrating the passionate spirit that defines the rehabilitation science community.

Sincerely,

Meera Premnazeer and Madalena Liougas
