Partnerships & Restructuring

Gratitude for the work of ACAPT's consortia

Thanks to all the hardworking and innovative leaders & members of ACAPT's consortia for their tireless work in pursuit of academic excellence in physical therapy.

ACAPT's transition team has been paving the way for new Institutes.

As part of ACAPT's restructuring, ACAPT has been working with current consortia chairs to plan for the new Institutes covering academic advancement, teaching & learning, scholarly inquiry and community engagement.

In 2023, ACAPT initiated three task forces to expand its scope.

Creating & maintaining meaningful partnerships

ACAPT continues its strong partnerships with APTA and the APTA Academy of Education, including the Collaborative for Physical Therapy Education

ACAPT's Education Research Committee collaborated with the APTA Academy of Education Scholarship of Education Special Interest Group (SoESIG) to offer an Education Research Networking event during the APTA Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) 2022 and is planning an event for ELC 2023.
