Professional Activities

Dr. Amanda Lindenberg is assistant professor (CHS) in the Division of Developmental and Rehabilitation Medicine. She sees adaptive sports as one of the most rewarding areas of physical medicine and rehabilitation. She is passionate about volunteering at adaptive sporting events in all seasons and hopes to become involved in local organizations.

Her academic work involves several case studies, textbook chapters, and other manuscript publications on inpatient rehabilitation. Throughout training, Lindenberg has been actively involved with several different organizations locally and nationally assisting with social media presence. Finding fulfilling activities outside of the clinic and medical education is vital to her personal and professional development.
