Welcome to the first site dedicated to the work and educational endeavors of Occupational and Physical Therapists who specialize in treating and rehabilitating individuals whom have suffered a burn injury. This web site is dedicated to the work of Burn Occupational & Physical Therapists in an effort to develop outcome based research and clinical improvements for all burn survivors. We are committed to fostering collaborative networking relationships among burn therapists as well as developing clinical research, treatment innovations and improvement in service delivery and care at local, national and international levels. We also highlight the achievements of Burn Occupational & Physical Therapists as part of the American Burn Association's Occupational & Physical Therapist Special Interest Group. We are a resource for therapist driven research and collaboration to provide the best treatment outcomes for the patients that we serve.
