The largest physical therapy conference in the country took over the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the nation's capital city of Washington, DC, in January. The APTA Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) brought together more than 16,000 attendees-most of them physical therapists (PTs), physical therapist assistants (PTAs), and physical therapy students from the association's 18 sections-for educational sessions, poster and platform presentations, an exhibit hall with hundreds of vendors of products and services, and numerous networking events.
