2026 Professional Development Institute Student Poster Session

The Pennsylvania Rehabilitation Association is an organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for professionals in the field of rehabilitation. As part of our mission, we encourage students to present student posters based on current research.

Our flagship event, the Professional Development Institute, will be held April 14-15, 2026, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center. Attending the PDI will provide students and young professionals with insights into the latest industry trends, skill-building workshops, employment opportunities, and the chance to learn from and engage with experienced professionals. These experiences are invaluable for students looking to build a career and young professionals looking to expand their opportunities in rehabilitation and related fields.

The PDI also presents an excellent opportunity for students to showcase research or projects through the student poster session. Participating in the student poster session offers students the chance to gain exposure, receive recognition for their work, and connect with potential mentors and collaborators. It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate commitment to excellence in the field of rehabilitation and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and best practices.
