APTA Michigan 2021 Fall Conference

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  Registration is closed for Full Conference and Saturday as we are at max capacity for Saturday.  Registration is open for the following ONLY:

• Pre-Conference Course Friday, October 15
• Research Day - Friday Afternoon, October 15
• Awards Ceremony - Friday Evening, October 15

We are finally returning to a live, in-person conference!  We have many activities planned as you will see in the abbreviated schedule below.  Additional information is found in the Event Brochure. 

When you register you will be asked to pre-select the conference sessions you will attend - you must register for one and only one session during each session time block. For instance, those attending on Saturday will select Implicit Bias (only 8am option) one session at 10:30 and one session at 2:15. The Pre Conference course is a separate registration.  If you want to attend the Pre Con as well as other days, you will need to select that option after you select your sessions.  All registrants have the option to attend Friday only or Saturday only as well as registering for the full conference.  Full conference registration includes a ticket to the Awards Reception on Friday night. There is also an option to add the Awards Ceremony if you register just for Friday or Saturday.  

Special Note:  Effective June1, 2022 all physical therapy professionals will need 2 hours of Implicit Bias Training for license renewal  Our first session is offered to ALL attendees unopposed so this requirement can be fulfilled.  We are also offering one course that will satisfy the requirement for 1 PDR credit in Pain and Symptom Management.
