APTA CSM

Better Together. Together Again.

Registration is open for APTA CSM, the largest physical therapy conference in the country. APTA members can save up to 40%!

There are two ways to participate:

The in-person event will take place Feb. 2-5, in San Antonio, Texas. Experience first-class programming from all 18 APTA sections and academies, earn up to 1.8 CEUs (18 contact hours), explore hundreds of research posters, and network with thousands of other attendees. See important information below about COVID-19.

An on-demand option will be available March 1-31, with more than 100 recorded educational sessions from the in-person event curated by conference program chairs from each section. Choose between on-demand with CEUs or on-demand without CEUs. Given the state of the pandemic, effective Jan. 21 APTA has increased available on-demand CEUs to 1.8 (18 contact hours), up from the original 1.2 (12 contact hours). Succesful completion of related post-tests is required, and all CEUs must be earned in the March 1-31 virtual conference window.

COVID-19

APTA is committed to hosting a safe APTA CSM event in San Antonio in February 2022 that is consistent with CDC guidelines, with proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of participation required to receive your registration packet, and masks required indoors unless speaking at a microphone. (No refunds will be provided to those who fail to comply with these requirements and are prohibited to participate.)

The in-person conference will be held as scheduled unless public health guidance changes. Please review all expectations and requirements for participation, and answers to frequently asked questions related to COVID-19.
