This groundbreaking virtual event will bring together physical therapists, other health care professionals, large health systems, and policy makers to discuss the current and future role of physical therapy in integrated models of care, such as accountable care organizations, patient-centered medical homes, bundling payment models, and employer-sponsored private pay initiatives.

At the viewing party, you will be able to watch a full day of educational programming in an online environment that includes a live streaming video of summit presentations, a resource center, discussion boards to ask questions, a virtual exhibit hall, a virtual networking lounge, and a chance to network with your peers at the viewing party. We also encourage you to participate through Twitter at @APTAtweets using hashtag #PTSummit.
