Dear AJPM&R Readers,

Approximately 300,000 persons in the United States and 21 million globally live with a spinal cord injury. The lead and CME article of this issue of the AJPM&R reports on the registered research initiatives during the last 20 years on the topic of spinal cord rehabilitation. Of significant value, a retrospective review of conducted research helps us summarize the outcomes of such an effort and identify priorities for the future. Because many of these persons with a spinal cord injury return to their communities, a second article in this issue reports on research looking at the impact of services on community participation of survivors of traumatic spinal cord injury. On a different (but related and important) topic, the impact of a virtual disability curriculum on medical students is examined. Independent of their choice of specialty and type of practice, future physicians will have to provide care to persons with different disabilities. Medical schools should adopt similar strategies to educate their students.

I hope you will enjoy this issue of the AJPM&R!​
