Summary
- As Emeritus Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan I now focus on building outstanding spine and rehabilitation programs in the US and around the world through Haig Consulting (www.haigetal.com) I co-direct the $21 M federal Vermont RETAIN work disability grant. In my part-time general PM&R practice (www.haigmed.com), much of my work is spine and electrodiagnstics. I lead global efforts to build rehabilitation in low resource countries through the International Rehabilitation Forum (www.rehabforum.org)
