Academic Administrator SIG
 
Description: The Academic Administrators Special Interest Group (AASIG) serves as a forum for the sharing and exchange of information about administrative aspects of physical therapy (PT) educational programs. It also serves as an advocacy group for academic administrators around issues of concern in physical therapy education. Academic administrators have established a recognized voice through AASIG to influence the policies of our Association, key organizations including but not limited to the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) and the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT), as well as institutions of higher education. Relevant communities of interest include, but are not limited to, University administrators and faculty, the APTA Division of Education, other sections of the APTA, the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, CAPTE, and the U.S. Department of Education.
