Pursuing Excellence and Innovation in
Physical Therapy Education
Exciting news! This year, we will have two types of Educational sessions available:
- Standard Educational Presentations (90 min): Standard educational presentations are scheduled for 1 ½ hours and will occur any of the three days of the conference.
- MicroLearn Educational Session (25-30 min): We’re enhancing our educational conference experience by introducing MicroLearn sessions alongside our standard education sessions. These compact, focused sessions are designed to deliver quick insights, practical skills, and actionable takeaways. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or a first-timer, prepare for a dynamic learning journey! Stay tuned for the MicroLearn lineup—it’s knowledge in a nutshell! Authors will be paired with two other MicroLearn submissions of similar topics to make up a complete 90-minute session.
Submissions for poster and platform abstracts are also now being accepted. Posters are displayed for an entire day during the conference, with presenters scheduled for 45-minute time slots either in the morning or afternoon. Platform presentations are 15-minute oral presentations scheduled throughout the 3 days of the conference.
