Member Survey Activities
To support and advance research activities among our members, the ACI Alliance provides a service to help our members collect information from other CI clinicians and investigators on the CI process, outcomes, access barriers, and research needs.
Twice a year—in February and August—we solicit and electronically distribute surveys submitted by members. This has resulted in valuable publications, presentations at our meetings, and improvements in clinic services.
