Actions to promote change and opportunity

• To celebrate diversity and raise funds for NABPT, AAPT and APTA’s Physical Therapy (PT) Fund Minority Scholarship Fund, ACAPT is co-sponsoring a welcome reception at the 17^th Annual Education Leadership Conference (ELC). 
  

• At the heart of Lisa VanHoose's presentation during the 2022 Lynda D. Woodruff Lecture on DEI in June 2022 - an event ACAPT proudly co-sponsored - was the concept of "DEI fatigue," a term used to describe any stress associated with DEI efforts in organizations, but that manifests itself in what VanHoose described as a "subtle resistance [to DEI efforts] that may erode workplace performance." 
  
  
• Students, faculty and clinical partners at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) participated in a free webinar to encourage more diversity in the PT population pursing a PhD & career in academia.
  
  
• ACAPT’s Consortium for Humanities, Ethics & Professionalism (CHEP) covered critical perspectives of disability in this recorded webinar.
