Future directions of PMR, the theme of IAPMRCON 2023 will take us to a destination where we have never been, and it will an eye opener for many. It will be another step forward to remove the confusion in the minds of undergraduate and postgraduate students on the outlook of the PMR specialty.

Another highlight of the IAPMRCON 2023 will be to make ourselves competent and lead the youngsters in Competency Based PMR Education in the future so that we come out clean from the misnomer “Jack of all trades and master of none”. Mastering skills in PMR and enhancing competencies are vital for our survival in this fast-changing medical practice.

PMR is one of the fastest growing medical sciences throughout the world. Many among us are fast adapting to this rapidly changing PMR practice. In the process, rehabilitation remains a victim worldwide and majority of PMR specialists do everything except rehabilitation. This conference will sincerely try to bring ‘Rehabilitation’ back on track.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you and family members to this biggest event of our specialty, which is taking place in one of the most beautiful cities in northeast India, in a state which is a powerhouse of sports in India with illustrious world-famous dances and breathtaking scenery.

We assure you a memorable PMR conference ever. Come and join us physically.
