Dear Fellow Physicians,
It is our great pleasure to invite all of you again to participate actively, in the ninth biannual conference and scientific seminar of Bangladesh Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (BAPMRCON),  2016 going to be held on 12-14 December 2016. There will be three types of academic sessions in the  conference-  A) Conference Lecture Session (This will  cover the problems of operation and expansion of the discipline, will include scientific and social issues as well). B) Plenary Lecture Sessions  and C) Free Paper Session. Abstracts will be catagorised for presentation according to their type and significance. We have emphasized four areas of our discipline in this conference which have been mentioned above. Our potential participants are requested to choose their subjects, as far as possible, related to these broad headings for the Conference Lecture Sessions and Plenary Sessions. Other important abstracts will be accommodated in the Free Paper Sessions and Poster Presentations. We are also going to arrange a debate session on the subject- Psychological Stigma is the Principal Barrier in Establishing Multidisciplinary Approach in Medical Rehabilitation in Bangladesh. We hope you will love to join the debate program as well.
On 12th December we are going to arrange two hands on workshop on 1)  Paediatric and Adult Neuro-rehabilitation and 2) Invasive Spinal  Interventions in management of Low Back Pain. Both of the workshops will be conducted by foreign resource persons. Interested Participants must register separately for the workshop. Hoping for your active participation in the conference.
