When it comes to being a PT, PTA, or student, the challenges (and inspirations) aren't limited to the clinic or classroom. That's a big part of why APTA offers a range of video recordings that bring our community together to talk about everything from mental health to marketing tips.

Our next live online event, "Being Authentic — the LGBTQIA+ PT's Journey," is coming up on June 5, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. This panel discussion, hosted by APTA Student Board of Directors Director of Communications Casey Schlottman, SPT, features Janet Bezner, PT, DPT, PhD, FAPTA, and Gail Jensen, PT, PhD, FAPTA, and will focus on recent research that investigated the lived experiences of PTs who identify as LGBTQIA+. Don't miss the live presentation and Q&A session. 

And if you can't make it, no worries. APTA archives its online events and makes them available for free to members to watch any time. [Note: the recording of the June 5 event is now available for viewing]
