Innovations in Physical Therapy Education

Presented by: Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, FAPTA

The Physical Therapy Learning Institute envisions the igniting of collaborative advancement to transform the health of society. We are committed to provide leadership and advocacy to challenge the societal status quo. We strongly believe that a lack of change will stifle innovation in physical therapy education, research, and practice. We support the ACAPT Statement on Racism and Systemic Inequality supporting Black Lives in Physical Therapy Education without hesitation and look forward to partnering to create a more humane and inclusive future. We invite everyone in the physical therapy community to support this effort to change this societal challenge.
