The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) Board has elected to create 3 new virtual task forces in 2020: the Artificial Intelligence Task Force, the Impaired Practitioner Task Force, and the Boundary Violations Task Force. FSBPT has requested that APTA consider nominating individuals to serve on these task forces.
Please select the blue “Apply Today” button and complete the application form to be considered for nomination. Note that each of these task forces is posted as a separate opportunity in APTA Engage. Please apply separately for each to be considered for nomination for one or more of the task forces.
Impaired Practitioner Task Force
The proposed charge of the impaired practitioner task force is to review and report the laws and rules of jurisdictions regarding impaired practitioners (drug/alcohol) and mandatory reporting; explore monitoring and recovery programs for best practices; review literature for best practices with regard to monitoring and recovery of impaired practitioners, and recommend further action to the FSBPT Board of Directors based on the findings.
Time commitment: The task force will meet virtually only (no travel). The commitment is expected to be participation in four WebEx or Zoom meetings, as well as any background reading and research. The term will conclude by year-end 2020.
Requirements:
- Must be a licensed physical therapist
- Must be an APTA member in good standing
Note: This is not an APTA-appointed position. When APTA nominates a candidate, the nomination is sent directly to the FSBPT. FSBPT is responsible for selecting appointees and any future communications on appointment status will come directly from FSBPT.
