Sponsorship Registration

APTA CT State Conference Mentorship Registration

Offered this year during the conference, will be a mentorship program with the goal to foster connection and learning between students and clinicians. This program is included in your registration and will take place during the conference hours.

We are looking for both mentors (clinicians) and mentees (students) who would be interested in expanding your network within the physical therapy profession.

Participation entails arriving at the opening of the day, 7:00 AM, to meet your mentorship group, engaging in discussions to promote critical thinking about evidence based practice, and participating in professional development activities. Survey questions will guide placement of clinician mentors with student mentee groups. As conference approaches, a formalized schedule and mentorship/networking activities will be outlined for the day, working in tandem to the conference, a seamless and streamlined program to allow you to attend all conference courses and offerings in addition to this programming.
