Great Opportunity: Government Affairs Liason
The LBSB district is looking for a liason to the California Chapter
Government Affairs Committee. This physical therapist will receive
information relating to legislation, regulation and the process of
protecting and promoting the profession. The PT will receive training on how
to best advocate for the profession and the patients of physical therapy.
The PT will be asked to distribute this information to the district. Please
email or contact Azmina Haji if you are interested at [email protected]
Get Hooked…ON EVIDENCE
“Hooked on Evidence” is an evidence-based practice project led by the
California Research Special Interest Group and seven districts throughout
California. This group has been working with the APTA headquarters on a
year-long demonstration project to compile and analyze research pertinent to
the practice of PT. The long-term goal is the development of a national
electronic database summarizing research articles which have been peer
reviewed and catalogued.
The topic for the LBSB district is FUNCTIONAL TRAINING FOR PATIENTS WITH
STROKE. If you are interested in collecting articles, please contact Claire
Beekman ([email protected]) or Mei Lee Chapple ([email protected])
Project coordinators Chris Powers, PT, PhD and Andrew Guccione, PT, PhD will
present finding from the California pilot project at the APTA conference in
Anaheim in June, 2001.
