CETRI's principal mission is to advance the treatment of electrical injury through research. We collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of specialists who have over 35 years of experience working with and treating electrical injuries, and many of whom are foundational members of the field. Through multidisciplinary research, clinical care, and educational outreach, our team works to develop diagnostic tools and methods for more effective therapies for electrical injury survivors.

COMMITTED TO THE REHABILITATION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SURVIVORS
CETRI was founded to advance medical research on electrical shock and radiation injuries and translate these findings into improved rehabilitation for survivors. Our multi-institutional, multidisciplinary team evaluates patients who experience difficulty achieving full recovery, providing guidance to optimize their rehabilitation outcomes. CETRI is not an emergency care facility; rather, it advises patients and primary care providers on the long-term management of electrical injury complications.
With more than 35 years of experience, the CETRI team integrates expertise from internal medicine, neurology, neuropsychology, rehabilitation medicine, surgery, bioengineering, radiology, and physical therapy to deliver comprehensive, collaborative care.
