Biography
Prof Dr. Trevor A. Dyson-Hudson, M.D. is Director of Spinal Cord Injury Research and Outcomes & Assessment Research at Kessler Foundation (West Orange, NJ) and an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He received his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1995. In 1992, while he was a third-year medical student, Dr. Dyson-Hudson sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI; C6/C7 tetraplegia, complete) while playing rugby football. Following a year of rehabilitation, he returned to medical school in 1993 and graduated in 1995. He completed a one-year transitional internship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1996 and completed a Rehabilitation Research Fellowship with the Department of PM&R at UMDNJ-NJMS and the Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Stroke and Neurological Disorders at Kessler supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Postdoctoral Fellowship supplement for individuals with disabilities in 2000.
