In Continued Support of National Disability Employment Awareness Month

The MSKTC would like to continue its support of National Disability Month by providing our factsheet titled "Employment after Burn Injury" we discuss how returning to work after a burn injury can be  accompanied by a confusing range of emotions, such as feeling both excitement and anxiety. It may be hard to deal with returning back into the workplace and interacting with people. To learn more view our factsheets on Employment after Burn Injury and Social Interaction after Burn Injury.

MSKTC would like to congratulate the newly funded Burn Model Systems

The National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research recently reached a new fiscal year and selected four new model systems to fund. The four newly funded centers are: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, University of Texas - Galveston, University of Texas - Southwestern - Dallas, and University of Washington - Seattle.

The MSKTC would like to congratulate all of the newly funded model systems as well as everyone committed to advancing the burn injury field.
