Why Join APTA of Maryland?

In this era of disruptive change in healthcare, it has become increasingly important for physical therapists to stay informed of legislative and other issues impacting the practice of physical therapy and the communities they serve. Equally important is that physical therapy professionals use their voice in both national and state-level healthcare debates concerning issues affecting the future of physical therapy.

To be eligible for APTA membership, you must be accepted to, enrolled in, or a graduate from a PT or PTA program that is accredited or is seeking or has been granted candidacy status by the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education (program must be accredited at time of graduation). All membership is coordinated by APTA. 

Simultaneous payment of national and chapter dues is required. You must belong to the chapter of the state in which you live, work or attend school, or of an adjacent state if more active participation is possible.
