During the 8th International Symposium: ICF Education we will be exploring the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and how it is currently used in India and the potential of ICF Education to enhance the use of the classification.
The aim is to bring together people from around the world who are teaching about or using the International Classification in health statistics and administration, clinical practice and education such as in interprofessional education, research and product development.
Previous symposia demonstrated the successful biopsychosocial application of ICF. ICF educators, clinicians, advocates, and researchers from around the world are once again invited to share their experiences on this global platform and to learn from each other.
Collaboration and participation from all stakeholders are important. All participants are expected to share their experiences (whether they present an abstract or not) and learn from each other. Participation is essential. Accepted presentations will be posted on this website.

Symposium theme
ICF Education: a prelude for India
Symposium topics
1. ICF based research in India
In India research using ICF as the basis for collecting information on functioning has expanded. The first day will focus on this research with a mix of invited speakers, panel discussion and presentation of posters.
2. International uses informing ICF use in India
A diverse group of people from around the world will share their experience on using ICF. A second poster session will share information on ICF. This will be followed by a discussion about how the international experience can inform the use of ICF in India and vice versa.
This two-day event will have an informal and inclusive program. All participants will be there on equal terms. The symposium will focus on education related to ICF, with the participation of people from different professional backgrounds with international experience in their fields. The outcomes of the symposium will be a set of recommendations and actions for collaboration between participants.
