The PPTA Practice Committee is pleased to announce a new benefit of membership!

A clinical expert resource list has been developed to help field clinical practice questions from our members.  A talented and experienced group of our Pennsylvania PT and PTA colleagues have volunteered to serve the membership in this capacity.  As APTA members, we have many resources via section list serves and message boards.  However, this expert group will give PPTA members a group of local experts who are most familiar with clinical practice in the state of Pennsylvania.  We have gathered experts from a variety of settings and specialty areas.

If you have a clinical practice related question, please contact the Practice Committee Chair, Jeff Welk at welkj@upmc.edu, and your question will be forwarded to the appropriate resource person by the committee.  The practice Committee may, at times, post questions and responses on the web site or in the newsletter when a topic seems particularly relevant or has been asked multiple times.  The questioner's identity would not be revealed in such a format.
