Rehab Therapy Professional Visitor Program

The Rehabilitation Therapy Department Professional Visitors Program at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center provides tours and other customized experiences to visiting healthcare professionals from other countries as well as the United States. We offer tours that include a general overview of our facility and the services provided by each therapy discipline. Tours are customized depending upon the interests of the individual or group. Each discipline offers a variety of specialty areas of focus.
