MARP is the Minnesota chapter of IARP (International Association of Rehabilitation Providers)

MARP's members include professionals with degrees and/or certification in rehabilitation counseling, psychology, nursing, occupational therapy, psychology and divinity; and registered placement specialists are a valued part of the membership demographics. Many of MARP's members provide services as Qualified Rehabilitation Consultants (QRC) to injured workers. The QRC's roles and scope of practice are defined by Minnesota workers' compensation statutes, and regulated by Minnesota's Department of Labor and Industry.

Membership in MARP provides an automatic membership in IARP, with all the benefits such national resources can bring to rehabilitation professionals. You can apply for membership in both IARP & MARP online. Although Minnesota's statutes result in distinctions between rehabilitation professionals providing services within the workers' compensation system, and those providing other types of rehab. services, most of the practice issues are of common interest to all rehabilitation professionals in Minnesota.

IARP has established a cooperative effort with NASPPR (National Association of Service Providers in Private Rehabilitation) in producing a joint newsletter. Thus, members of both organizations have the benefits of a broader base of information via a single membership.
