GI-7. American Physical Therapy Association

Students are expected to become student members of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the Association that represents the profession of physical therapy in the United States. 

To become a member of APTA register online at http://www.apta.org.

Students are encouraged to participate in APTA meetings and conferences. If going to a conference requires missing courses, the student should meet with course faculty to develop an acceptable plan for make-up of missed work. If conference attendance would require absence from a clinical experience, students should refer to and follow clinical experience absence procedures (CE-4).
