APTA sections are your link to the resources you need to stay current in expertise areas, and the best way to connect with others who share your interests. The APTA sections, focus on a wide range of areas, from specific types of physical therapy to sections focused on broader policy areas and patient populations. No matter your interest, there's probably a section for you. Each month, we will highlight one of the 18 APTA sections.

Note From the Vice President
As I reflect on the first six months of this year I recall feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, fear, and pain. Although these feelings are the ones that come to mind first, I also see evidence of joy and hope.
It’s officially summer. With the start of a new season I encourage you to reflect on how recent events in the world and in our country have impacted you in your role as a SPT or SPTA and a future professional.
The physical therapy profession is ultimately about improving the human experience. As students and the incoming members of the profession, we have a tremendous opportunity to continue to shape the future of physical therapy and how we interact with and serve our communities.
