Registration is open for APTA CSM, the largest physical therapy conference in the country. APTA members can save up to 40%!
There are two ways to participate:
The in-person event will take place Feb. 2-5, in San Antonio, Texas. Experience first-class Educational Programming from all 18 APTA sections and academies, earn up to 1.8 CEUs (18 contact hours), explore hundreds of research posters, and network with thousands of other attendees. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours are required to receive your participant badge. Masks will be required indoors.
An on-demand option will be available March 1-31, with more than 100 recorded educational sessions from the in-person event curated by conference program chairs from each section. Choose between on demand with the potential to earn up 1.2 CEUs (12 contact hours) or on demand without CEUs.
Traditional teaching structures — presentations, facilitated discussions, and small group discussions — can result in experiences that are either so controlled that learners have limited opportunity to engage or so loose that learners feel frustrated and lost. Using active learning strategies can lead to more effective, satisfying, and memorable teaching, as well as improved learner outcomes. During this course, instructors will examine evidence that supports active learning, and explore strategies that engage learners in and out of the in-person or virtual classroom. The emphasis will be on building collaborative, inclusive, and learner-centered environments for learners to analyze, create, role play, experience, reflect, and more. Participants will learn about liberating structures, a menu of 33 active learning strategies, by engaging in it. Participants will immediately brainstorm opportunities to apply liberating structures to their own teaching and learning. The presenters will share their experience of applying liberating structures in a variety of settings, along with feedback from learners who engaged in these strategies in a PT education curriculum. Participants will share individual successes, reveal challenges, and uncover opportunities to use liberating structures, and will design at least three active learning techniques to immediately use in their in-person or virtual classrooms.

Pain Science Content and Competencies throughout Entry-Level and Post-Professional Education: Educational Strategies Promoting Deep Learning
The Education Leadership Partnership, which includes APTA, ACAPT, and APTa Academy of Education, is working collaboratively to put recommendations into action that support the development of the next generation of education researchers. An urgent need is to provide guidance to novice researchers in developing competence in the essential building blocks and tools for successful research. Education research needs to move beyond the show-and-tell or descriptive phase of one (one program, one classroom, one clinic) to research that is grounded in meaningful questions linked with appropriate research designs and conceptual framing that can inform and advance education research in physical therapy. This preconference course will provide opportunities for participants to build on their education research question of interest and engage in a participatory workshop with research mentors that leads to a plan of action for each participant.
