APTA conducts an annual invitation-only workshop to help sections develop clinical practice guidelines.

The 2022 workshop will be conducted virtually July 13-14.

APTA members who are nominated by a section, and selected to attend, receive a free registration to the workshop.

Sections are asked to submit nominations for guideline development group leaders and key group members who have defined a key clinical question or topic that the section has identified as important to its membership.

For optimal benefit in this active workshop each guideline development team will need to engage in pre-workshop activities on their identified key question or topic well in advance of the workshop. They should plan to attend the entire workshop.
