2022/2023 PTAE SIG Webinars

Over the last two years, the PTAE SIG webinar series provided an opportunity for PTA educators across the country to share their knowledge and expertise during a time when connection was more important than ever. We want to make sure to continue to share with each other to continue to strengthen the PTA education community and the future PTAs we teach. Presenting at a PTAE SIG Webinar is a great way to present in a safe, non-intimidating form and can be an excellent stepping stone along a journey towards a submission or presentation at larger conferences.

The webinar committee is now seeking submissions for the 2022-2023 academic year. Presentations should cover topics applicable to PTA Education but can have an education or clinical focus. All presentations should be able to be presented in one hour in a Zoom format.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal to present at the webinar series, please complete the presentation proposal form found here. More information and all submission requirements are included on the proposal form. Once you have submitted your proposal, the committee will review your submission and contact you for follow-up.

Proposal submission deadlines:
to be considered to present Oct, Nov or Dec webinar: June 15, 2022;
to be considered to present Jan, Feb, March, Apr or May: September 1, 2022

We look forward to your submission and seeing you online!
Any questions regarding the webinar series can be sent to: ptaesigwebinar@aptaeducation.org
