Even with advances in critical care medicine improving survivorship rates, survivors of critical illness often experience long-lasting physical, cognitive, and/or mental health impairments, collectively known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).
Stephanie Hiser, PT, DPT, PhD will illuminate the future directions for research on early rehabilitation in the ICU, discuss strategies to expand and optimize early rehabilitation in an effort to advance patient care and improve survivors’ quality of life beyond the ICU, and highlight opportunities for GW Medicine to address current gaps in the fields of clinical care and research.

About the Bicentennial Faculty Lecture Series (FLS)
In the summer of 2024, the GW SMHS issued a call for proposals to faculty across the academic medical enterprise for the inaugural Bicentennial Faculty Lecture Series.
The goal is for our faculty to “fuel the advancement of knowledge in their area of interest and to demonstrate what makes GW unique and distinct.” The FLS was built to showcase faculty ideas, cultivate a sense of community, and foster meaningful connections across the academic medical enterprise.
