ELC 2023 stands as a collaborative initiative between The APTA Academy of Education (The Academy) and the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy (ACAPT), with a primary goal of fostering excitement, education, and invigorating discussions among all stakeholders invested in physical therapy education. Our shared dedication to the pursuit of excellence in physical therapy education, coupled with the active involvement of each of you -- encompassing PT and PTA program directors, chairs, educators, clinical education directors, clinical instructors, site coordinators of clinical education, faculty members, and residency/fellowship educators -- forms the cornerstone of the conference's success.

Designed as an intimate gathering, (the ONLY national conference dedicated solely to PT education!), ELC offers numerous opportunities to unwind and engage in collaborative dialogues, providing a platform to connect with fellow physical therapy educators hailing from all corners of the nation. Furthermore, attendees can take advantage of interactions with our esteemed exhibitors and sponsors.
