AMSSM 2019
Our Residents Presented at the
2019 ISPRM World Congress & JARM Conference!
Three of our PM&R Residents were invited to present at the 2019 International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) World Congress & The Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (JARM) 2019 Conference. The theme of the conference was "Cutting-edge Trends of Rehabilitation Medicine," which suited our Stanford Residents perfectly. Dr. Mitsuya and Dr. Tamura presented posters, and Dr. Kuwabara presented a poster and delivered an oral presentation.
We are so proud of their work – see the topics below:
- Dr. Tamura: "Weight Management in Spinal Cord Injury- Intervention and Monitoring via Tele-Nutrition"
- Dr. Mitsuya: “Elective transtibial amputation in a teenager with spina bifida: a case report"
- Dr. Kuwabara: "Gait features for distinguishing between mobility-limiting musculoskeletal disorders: lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis"
- Dr. Kuwabara (oral presentation): "The effect of dantrolene on swallowing: a retrospective review"
Special thank you to faculty mentor, Dr. Kazuko Shem of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, for her support in getting our residents there. This is just another great example of all the opportunities the Stanford PM&R Residency Program has to offer.

AAPMR 2017 Annual Assembly
Shara Yurkiewicz was one of six speakers selected for a plenary session at the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) 2017 Annual Assembly in Denver, Colorado. The plenary was the inaugural PhyzTalks competition, featuring TED-style talks focusing on the most transformative PM&R topics. Dr. Yurkiewicz's talk drew on her experience with her own critically ill family member to share lessons learned involving the emotional and social components of navigating disability after a life-changing injury.
