Washington, DC
The annual AMRPA Spring Conference offers medical rehabilitation professionals a chance to hear from and speak to federal agency officials, members of Congress, and other Washington, DC influencers who make critical decisions every day about our industry. You will also hear from industry leaders, who will provide everything you need to know about the impact of legislation and regulations on medical rehabilitation, and an update on 2026 AMRPA policy priorities.  Â
Attendees from AMRPA member hospitals will also have the opportunity to meet with legislators and key staffers in Congress as part of our annual Congressional Fly-In. This portion of the event allows AMRPA to bring clinicians, administrators, and hospital leadership directly to your Senators and Representatives in Congress to discuss the most pressing policy issues impacting inpatient rehabilitation hospitals.

Summit for Transforming Inpatient Rehabilitation (STIR)
Sunday, March 15, 2026
11:45 am – 6:00 pm
Join us for AMRPA’s Summit for Transforming Inpatient Rehabilitation (STIR). This 6-hour workshop will provide advanced training and dynamic discussion on rehabilitation management and strategy that leaders will not be able to find anywhere else. Â
STIR is designed for both clinical and business trailblazers who are ready to rethink how rehabilitation is managed and delivered. This program will emphasize the critical balance and cooperation of administrators, physicians, and nurses in strengthening the interdisciplinary team. Facilitated breakout discussions will dive into: the operational realities of nursing, physician, and advanced practice clinician workflows, referral and admission standardization across medically complex patients, encouraging attendees to share best practices and uncover new approaches for building effective interdisciplinary leadership and seamless IRF operations.Â
STIR offers an engaging, solutions-driven experience designed to prepare rehabilitation leaders to innovate boldly and advance the future of inpatient rehabilitation.Â
