Call for Proposals:
2022/2023 PTAE SIG Webinars
Over the last two years, the PTAE SIG webinar series provided an opportunity for PTA educators across the country to share their knowledge and expertise during a time when connection was more important than ever. We want to make sure to continue to share with each other to continue to strengthen the PTA education community and the future PTAs we teach. Presenting at a PTAE SIG Webinar is a great way to present in a safe, non-intimidating form and can be an excellent stepping stone along a journey towards a submission or presentation at larger conferences.
The webinar committee is now seeking submissions for the 2022-2023 academic year. Presentations should cover topics applicable to PTA Education but can have an education or clinical focus. All presentations should be able to be presented in one hour in a Zoom format.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal to present at the webinar series, please complete the presentation proposal form found here. More information and all submission requirements are included on the proposal form. Once you have submitted your proposal, the committee will review your submission and contact you for follow-up.
Proposal submission deadline to be considered to present Jan, Feb, March, Apr or May: September 1, 2022
We look forward to your submission and seeing you online!

The Academy Clinical Education Pre-Conference
Clinical Education - Boots on the Ground: Creating a Successful Clinical Education Program in the Trenches
Time/Date: Thursday, October 27, 2022 8:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT
The purpose of this course is to use evidence to promote excellence in physical therapy clinical education through Site Clinical Coordinator of Education (SCCE) and Clinical Instructor (CI) collective collaboration in real-time on their own plans and documents for improving their programs. Participants will bring their laptops and existing documents and work in small groups on refining or creating templates to be used in their program. The day will be organized into four small presentations on evidence in clinical education with breakout time to work on the participant’s own site-specific documents with their small group. Short debriefing sessions as a large group will be interspersed for further collaboration. We anticipate that participants can return to their clinic with new or refined tools in hand, a new network of colleagues to use as references, and feel that their program has a forward direction.

Mini-GAMER, Pre-Conference
Session: How to Begin Your Journey (Mini-GAMER)
Time/Date: Thursday, October 27: 8:00 am- 5:00 pm CDT
Pre-Conference: Education Research: How to Begin Your Journey (Mini-GAMER) The Education Leadership Partnership of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is working collaboratively (APTA, ACAPT, and Education Academy) to put recommendations into action that support the development of the next generation of education researchers. An urgent need is to provide guidance to novice researchers in developing competence in the essential building blocks and tools for successful research. Education research needs to move beyond the show and tell or descriptive phase of one (one program, one classroom, one clinic) to research that is grounded in meaningful questions linked with appropriate research designs and conceptual framing that can inform and advance education research in physical therapy. This 1-day, pre-conference workshop will provide opportunities for participants to build on their education research question of interest and engage in a participatory workshop with research mentors that leads to a plan of action for each participant.

Training in grantsmanship for rehabilitation research (TIGRR)
Registration Now Open
Workshop Dates: January 9-13, 2023
Accepting applicants this Summer
|
|
This upcoming intensive grant-writing workshop (TIGRR) builds upon the successful model used by the Enhancing Rehabilitation Research in the South (ERRIS) workshops that resulted in many junior investigators receiving NIH and other NIH level research funding. The centerpiece of the TIGRR Workshop is the one-on-one mentorship that maximizes the chance of success.
This 4-day workshop provides the expertise and support to be successful at the national level in obtaining research grant support. The target audience for this workshop includes junior and mid-level faculty in all rehabilitation research disciplines, many of whom are on the cusp of success in NIH-funded or similar research but could benefit from expert mentorship in grant development, including choosing best funding source and type of grant from that source. Post-doctoral fellows who are transitioning to a faculty position and mid-level faculty making a change in research focus are also encouraged to apply.
