Spinal Cord Injury Network of Professionals
Spinal Cord Injury Network of Professionals (SCIP) seeks to assist people who have acquired a disability either before, entering or during their careers. SCIP supports people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in all aspects of career development, no matter what their field of employment, their capacity or function, or their current employment status. They may be beginning their career, undergoing rehabilitation, volunteering, unemployed, employed full-time, part-time or casually, self-employed, unable-to-work, on a pension, welfare or retired.

Guest speaker, Gill Hilton presented on her recently completed PhD research: Employment Post-Spinal Cord Injury.
