APTA is seeking enthusiastic clinicians to participate in a recorded panel discussion with PTJ authors. Volunteers will focus on applying key research findings in different clinical environments. This is a great opportunity to engage with fellow professionals and contribute to meaningful discussions that bridge the gap between research and practice.
These recoded discussions (4 in total) will be compiled into a 1-hour journal club and posted into APTA’s Learning Center. Total time commitment will be approximately 1-2 hours. This includes reviewing the article, formulating 1-2 discussion questions (optional), and then discussing the article with one other clinician and one of the article’s authors.
We will review 4 articles in total and are seeking 2 clinicians to discuss each article (8 volunteers total). The articles we plan to feature and discuss are listed below. If you are interested, in your application, please indicate your top 2 choices of articles to discuss. Discussions will take place in November or December 2024, and the date will be agreed upon by all panelists.
