What is an advisory panel?
Advisory panels have been established by the APTA Board of Directors (Board) to serve two general functions: 1) provide guidance as requested to the Board; and 2) alert the Board to issues that are surfacing in the physical therapy environment. The Board selects the members of the advisory panels from the appointment pool each March to serve for three years. In addition to the Advisory Panel for Physical Therapist Assistants, which is composed of five PTA members, there is a position reserved for a PTA on the Advisory Panel of Education, Advisory Panel of Membership Recruitment and Retention, and Advisory Panel of Practice.
