FHEL APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN |
|
The APTA Academy of Education Fellowship in Higher Education Leadership (formerly the APTA Fellowship in Higher Education Leadership), provides current and aspiring directors in physical therapy education programs with the skills and resources they need to be innovative, influential, and visionary leaders who can function within a rapidly evolving, politico-sociocultural environment.
The award-winning fellowship was first accredited by the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education (ABPTRFE) in 2012 and reaccredited in 2017 through 2027. With over 160 alumni, the FHEL looks forward to welcoming its 12th cohort for 2023-2024.
Accepted candidates will begin the fellowship July 5, 2023 and take part in three trimesters of coursework, a mentorship program, and a leadership project.
The APTA Academy of Education looks forward to helping current and aspiring leaders in Fellowship in Higher Education Leadership achieve their professional goals and advancing the physical therapy education community.
Teressa Brown, DPT, serves as the FHEL Program Director.

THE APTA ACADEMY OF EDUCATION ASSUMES MANAGEMENT OF FHEL |
|
The fellowship is a year-long blended (online and on-site) curricular learning program that addresses the current and future needs of the physical therapy profession and the profession’s academic community. Acceptance into the program is by application, requires the support of the academic institution, and is intended for novice (up to seven years’ experience) and emerging academic administrators. The fellowship features high-caliber faculty for teaching experiences, experienced academic administrators to provide mentoring, and peer networking to facilitate the development of future mentors and leaders.
The program continues to grow, with the 2022-2023 cohort being the largest to date with 31 fellows. This award-winning program has developed more than 165 fellows since its creation in 2009.
The APTA Academy of Education will operate the program beginning with admissions and enrollment for the 2023-2024 cohort. “This program is a great example of APTA demonstrating leadership through the development of the first ever non-clinical fellowship in physical therapy,” said APTA Senior Vice President of Scientific Affairs Tara Jo Manal, PT, DPT, FAPTA. “Transitioning this program to the APTA Academy of Education will ensure ongoing success and progress.”
This strategic transition also better aligns with best practices for fellowship programs, as it increases the distance between the sponsoring program, the APTA Academy of Education, and the accrediting organization, the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education, which is a program of APTA.
“We are enthusiastic about transferring the prestigious Fellowship in Higher Education Leadership to the APTA Academy of Education,” said APTA Academy of Education President Pamela K. Levangie. “Bringing the fellowship into our fold will support our growing collection of resources that serve our mission to ‘Advance physical therapists and physical therapist assistants as educators.’ We look forward to exploring ways to build on the foundation so capably constructed by APTA to enhance the experience for future fellows. We will also consider how the program's assets can be leveraged to support professional development opportunities for our academic and clinical physical therapy educators.”
Applications for the 2023-2024 cohort will open January 1, 2023 in RF-PTCAS.

BUILDING WELLNESS INTO A DPT PROGRAM'S CULTURE |
|
Resilience and ability to cope with stress in an ever-changing healthcare system is a necessary skill for students. Faculty can guide and role model wellness in the classroom through intentional activities. “Take 5” is a series of wellness skill-building activities which promote student well-being and self-care in the classroom. This mini-session shares details of our well-being incorporation model as well as implementation experience in both pharmacy and physical therapy curricula. We will provide examples and practice of a variety of activities that can be implemented easily into the classroom and describe ways to engage students in the process. |

Join us for the 5th Developing Medical Educators of the 21st Century course in San Francisco! We are back with an in-person course, focused on supporting medical educators to engage in transformational change during challenging times.

Participants will have opportunities to network with others and create actionable plans to take home to their own institutions. A group discount will be available for teams from one institution.
This 3-day intensive course, organized in collaboration with the Kern National Network for Caring and Character in Medicine, targets medical educators from undergraduate and graduate medical education seeking to develop or improve skills in teaching and educational program design.
