• Research in the time of COVID: adaptations and opportunities

ACAPT's Research-Intensive Programs in Physical Therapy (RIPPT) promotes academic excellence by strengthening the community of research-intensive physical therapy programs in ACAPT. Individual members of ACAPT member institutions can join RIPPT for free. 

This month’s 60-minute seminar is focused on the impact and lasting effects of COVID-19 on rehabilitation research and researchers.

• Listen to the Research in the time of COVID: adaptations and opportunities webinar here. The webinar took place on July 29, 2021.
• Target audience: Faculty, post-docs, program directors/chairs, PhD students, and others interested in learning about strategies and experiences used by rehabilitation researchers in response to COVID-19 and discussing the implications to their own research.
• Fee: No-charge
• CEU: None

Learning objectives:  The participant will reflect and identify:

• The impact of COVID-19 on rehabilitation research – challenges and opportunities.
• Pivoting research to another population, in this case, the outcomes of COVID-19 infection.
• Possible “virtual” research practices and mentorship that may be carried forward into our PhD education programs.
