We've published "APTA Supply and Demand Forecast 2022-2037" as a companion report to the forecasts published in PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal, APTA's scientific journal.
The PTJ article "Current and Projected Future Supply and Demand for Physical Therapists from 2022 to 2037: A New Approach Using Microsimulation" projects a fluctuating shortfall in the supply of physical therapists relative to projected demand through 2037.
APTA's report summarizes the highlights of the PTJ article's projections for the next 12 years, offers insights into the current supply and demand situation, suggests future research needs, and outlines approaches to mitigating the projected shortfall in the supply of physical therapists to meet demand.
