I’ll translate the motions, debates, and acronym soup into plain English.
If it matters, you’ll hear about it here. 🎤

Now What
A policy doesn’t solve burnout or staffing overnight.
But it gives APTA a clearer mandate to advocate for a profession that’s not only attractive to enter—but sustainable to stay in.

So What
You can’t solve a workforce shortage by filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
Recruitment matters.
Retention matters just as much.
This motion acknowledges both.
What
RC 4 updates APTA’s workforce policy.
The conversation shifts from simply producing more PTs to recognizing that retaining PTs and PTAs is just as important.
🗞️ HOD Dispatch #2
RC 4 passed.
What
Delegates approved an updated workforce policy that shifts the conversation beyond simply producing more physical therapists.
So What
The profession doesn’t just have a pipeline problem—it has a retention problem.
