Neurology
2011 Neurologic Entry-level Curriculum Guidelines (.pdf)
The Neurology Section is pleased to offer the 2011 Neurologic Entry-level Curriculum Guidelines as a tool to assist faculty with curriculum development in the area of neurology. These guidelines were developed in alignment with the Normative Model of Physical Therapist Education and the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, using a consensus-based process that included multiple opportunities for section member feedback. The Guidelines include expectations for neurologic knowledge and skills for the new graduate upon entry into clinical practice, as well as related terminal behavioral objectives and sample learning objectives for the classroom and clinical practice. For additional materials related to Neurologic physical therapy, please visit the Neurology Section Web site at www.neuropt.org.

Women's Health
Entry-level Educational Curriculum Content Guidelines for Women's Health Examination and Evaluation (.pdf)
The Section on Women's Health (SoWH) is providing this guideline to US physical therapist professional programs to assist in curricular planning and implementation by providing content in women's health for inclusion in the curriculum. The document parallels the format of the APTA's Normative Model for Physical Therapist Professional Education: Version 2004 so that academic programs can use the two tools side by side. This document is a guideline only; it does not carry any regulatory weight and is not an official publication of the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), nor the APTA.
