APTA, the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy, and the APTA Academy of Education need your input on current and future physical therapy education.

The three organizations, working together with other education stakeholders as the Education Leadership Partnership, have created a survey aimed at fostering a more global perspective in advancing the physical therapy profession through collaborative visioning and planning for the future of physical therapy education.

The survey is available online and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Responses are due by midnight June 8.

Questions? Contact Meghana Deshmane, research manager at McKinley Advisors.

Established in 2016, ELP is a joint partnership of the boards of directors of APTA, the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy, and the APTA Academy of Education. Those organizations are joined by community partners representing the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education, the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, and additional entities that represent acute care, health systems, physical therapist assistant education, private practice, and veterans affairs.
