This year’s Student Conclave was developed by the Chapter Student Committee. The program will be one-hour so that students can enroll in the fall annual conference continuing education tracks which will run from 11:00-4:30 pm.

The conclave will include an inspirational presentation by a Maryland physical therapist, Leah Fleischer, including a special viewing of her academy nominated documentary, Two Hands: The Leon Fleisher Story. This award-winning documentary reveals the fascinating, more than thirty-year story of a child prodigy whose career as a pianist was cut short by the sudden onslaught of a mysterious physical disability. The film also depicts Leon Fleisher's amazing response and ultimate victory over the hands of fate. Leah Fleisher, his daughter and a physical therapist, tries to make sure that other musicians careers are not cut short by treating injured musicians.

Student Delegate Elections
Elections for the Chapter’s Student Delegate and Alternate Student Delegate will be held and you must be a member of APTA of Maryland to vote and to run. If you are interested, or know of someone who may be interested in being nominated for the Student Delegate or Alternate Student Delegate positions, please forward their name to the Executive Office. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor. All PT and PTA students from programs within Maryland are invited to attend the Conclave and are encouraged to attend the Student Research Presentations and the Annual Chapter Business Meeting.
