Welcome to CAPM&R

The national leader in setting the standard of care in physiatry to improve the lives of Canadians.

Introduction

Founded in 1952, with over 400 members, the Canadian Association of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (CAPM&R) is the National Specialty Society for physiatrists in Canada; dedicated to improving patient care by advancing the specialty through research and education. The CAPM&R  is an accredited provider for the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

In 2020, CAPM&R teamed up with The Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP), the leading academic physiatry society in the world, to make The American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (AJPM&R) the official journal of CAPM&R. This new partnership will connect CAPM&R’s membership to the AAP community and member benefits, expand the reach of AJPM&R, and provide a catalyst for PM&R innovation within the United States and Canada. Learn more about our new partnership.​

Abstracts presented at the CAPM&R Annual Scientific Meeting are published in the AJPMR.
