Not Finding What You're Looking For?
Education is central to Advancing Human Ability — learning, teaching, disseminating what we learn, learning from others. We’ve been highly innovative in customizing programming and resources for patients, families, clinicians, professors, and the community.
Since 1953, the Academy (Formerly RIC Academy) has helped healthcare professionals advance their abilities through our continuing education programs.
On March 25, 2017 the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago became the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. More than just a change of address, this shift enables our continued mission to be the global source of science-driven breakthroughs in Human Ability.
