2025 CSM Member meeting

The Primary Care SIG is hosting our annual CSM member meeting on Friday February 14, 2025 from 10-11am CST. We have several important topics on our agenda including a Public Forum discussing the SIG's newly published Primary Care PT Definition Document. We are looking for your input to help make this document as strong as possible and to ensure it accurately represents primary care PT practice across the profession. We also plan to provide updates on other SIG initiatives including the 2025 Primary Care PT Summit and the petition for primary care specialist board certification. We are excited to see you there!
