Southeastern Michigan Traumatic Brain Injury System
The Southeastern Michigan Traumatic Brain Injury System (SEMTBIS) is a program of research that studies a variety of topics related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since 1987, the SEMTBIS has conducted innovative research projects and contributed to the National Database. The SEMTBIS studies TBI treatment, recovery, and health outcomes. Day to day research activities are conducted at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM), but the project has strong ties with Wayne State University and the larger hospital network of the Detroit Medical Center. At the SEMTBIS we are involved in local projects here at RIM as well as collaborative research efforts conducted across the country. Additionally, the SEMTBIS continues to participate in longitudinal data collection that is submitted four times per year to the TBI Model System National Database. The SEMTBIS is proud to share that we have been collecting data for this project for over 20 years. Our research findings are shared with TBI survivors, families, caregivers, and health care professionals locally, nationally, and internationally.
