We are proud to provide the APTA Centennial Lecture Series, featuring recognized leaders on topics in clinical practice, practice management, payment, and innovation.

Learn how different emergencies create distinctive rehabilitation needs. Through this two-day lecture, the presenter leads you through the steps needed to develop an “all hazard” rehabilitation preparedness plan and trains you in the clinical and interpersonal skills needed to work in an emergency.
