  • Discuss issues, interests and pressures within the physical therapy profession that attendees are facing

  • Take action on these issues by mobilizing attendees within and across sites to create real-world change in the areas of shared interest

  • Develop leaders and leadership skills through right-sized involvement that increases connection and engagement in APTAMD over time
