Summary/Background
The Academy of Acute Care Physical Therapy (AACPT), redesigned the Education Committee structure to better accommodate the needs of the members. Based on the AACPTs pillars: 1) Combined Section Meeting/Programming, 2) Online/Virtual/Podcasts, and 3) Bridge The Gap, the new structure will be designed to develop deliverables based on each/all of the pillars. The Interim Educational Chair will have the opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills, organizational skills, and to take the lead on executing the education model which has been adopted by the AACPT Board of Directors (BoD). This is a very unique opportunity for the right individual who is looking to make a difference and has a strong interest in education, mentoring and carrying out the goals of the Academy.
The AACPT is conducting a search for candidates for the Interim Chair position. The Search Committee will interview candidates and will present the candidate(s) to the AACPT BoD. The BoD will be appoint the the interium chair. Once the structure is executed and the AACPT bylaws approved, the Education Committee Chair position becomes a voting member of the AACPT Board of Directors. This position will be elected by the AACPT membership and will be a 3-year term. This position will evaluate/oversee all pillars: CSM Programming, Online/Virtual, and Bridge The Gap.
