The Private Practice Section, APTA invites you to submit a proposal for the 2020 Combined Sections Meeting. Submissions are due on or before March 20, 2019. Proposals for educational sessions or pre-conference courses must be submitted online through APTA’s submission site.

PPS is accepting proposals for:
