WELCOME FROM THE GOVERNANCE BOARD
W
elcome to the 2015 Educational Conference of the Academy of Spinal Cord
Injury Professionals. We are delighted that you have chosen to join us. This
year’s program offers an exceptional educational curriculum spanning the
continuum of spinal cord injury and disease.
The Academy Program Committee has provided a wide array of presentations including
keynote and plenary sessions of interest to all SCI professionals, optional in-depth
workshops each day, over 100 posters, as well as more opportunities for specific clinical
education on key areas of SCI practice and research. There are also lectures geared
specifically to obtain continuing education credits in ethics, as this is needed by many.
The program draws from the expertise in basic science, clinical practice and theoretical
considerations of our interdisciplinary membership. We encourage you to take advantage
of the opportunity to network with your SCI colleagues, discuss experiences and cases,
research opportunities and interact with experts in the field of SCI.

Session Evaluation and Continuing
Education Certificates
ASCIP Educational Conference session evaluations are electronic. After the
conference you will receive an email with a link to the evaluation system.
Please click on the link and begin to evaluate each session you attended. To make
it easier to keep track, we have added a list of sessions with check boxes in the
program on page 22. Simply check the session you attended as a reminder. If you
feel strongly about a program, please make a note of it. When you proceed to the
overall conference evaluation, you will have an opportunity to tell us about it.
After you have completed the session evaluations and the overall conference
evaluation, an email will be automatically generated to you. In that email,
you will be able to click on the link to print your certificate. Remember that
the site is automatically calculating your credit. If you miss evaluating a session you attended, you will be a credit short! Also, you have to evaluate all
programs at the same time. You will not be able to stop and then start again.

When the grip of spasticity
is loosened, life opens up.
Severe spasticity is a condition that can affect a
person’s ability to move one or more of their limbs,
or to move one side of the body. It may be associated
with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral
palsy, stroke, and brain injury.
Effective treatment of severe
spasticity may*:
• improve gait, hygiene, activities of daily living,
and ease of care.
• decrease spasm frequency, pain, and fatigue.
• promote tone reduction and complement
rehabilitative therapies.
Clinicians can learn more at
www.professional.medtronic.com
Resources for people with severe
spasticity and their caregivers can
be found at

PROGRAM CHECKLIST
Session Evaluation and Continuing Education Certificates
ASCIP Educational Conference session evaluations are electronic. After the conference you will receive an email with a link to the evaluation
system. Please click on the link and begin to evaluate each session you attended. To make it easy to keep track, we have added check boxes
below. Simply check the session you attended as a reminder. If you feel strongly about a program, please make a note of it. When you proceed
to the overall conference evaluation, you will have an opportunity to tell us about it.
After you have completed the session evaluations (ethics sessions will be at the end of the evaluation process) and the overall conference evaluation, an email will be automatically generated to you. In that email, you will be able to click on the link to print your certificate(s). Remember
that the site is automatically calculating your credit. If you miss evaluating a session you attended, you will be a credit short! Also, you have
to evaluate all programs at the same time. You will not be able to stop and then start again. Call Kim Ruff at (217) 753-1190 with questions.

If you or someone you know has a spinal
cord injury, multiple sclerosis, diabetes,
stroke, spina bifida, or other conditions
that requires catheterization, you have
to check out the PerfIC Cath. Made
for all individuals who catheterize, but
even those who have limited dexterity
can often perform intermittent selfcatheterization. Individuals with normal
dexterity will appreciate how much easier
the PerfIC Cath™ is to use compared to
other products. We are very excited to
soon introduce the NEW mPower Cath
and the hydrophilic PerfIC Cath.
