A message from AACPT leadership:
"AACPT is a great way to not only stay up-to-date with current information related to acute care, but you also get electronic access to the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy—all for $9/year. That is less than 3 Venti® coffee drinks at Starbucks. It’s also a smaller academy, so if you are looking to get involved as a student or new professional, you can get some great mentorship and advice."
- Sharon L. Gorman, PT, DPTSc, Board-Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist, Fellow, National Academies of Practice, President, AACPT
