PT research studies

ACAPT remains committed to its membership and the pursuit of scientific endeavors to improve physical therapist education.

As a service to ACAPT members and the research community, ACAPT has agreed to share approved member research survey invitations.  This does not represent an endorsement of a research project.  ACAPT is acting solely as an agent for the dissemination of research surveys.  

“Distribution of our research survey through ACAPT was a huge help!” says Krista Rompolski from Moravian University.
