The APTA OR Continuing Education Committee is soliciting a variety of one-hour educational presentations, which may include single or multiple presenters. Formats may vary from traditional lecture sessions with one or more presenters to short-form case presentations such as complicated patient cases, or brief research platforms. The committee is open to hearing unique ideas. If you have content exceeding 1 hour for an educational session you may submit two 1-hour sessions, and the committee will take into consideration the ability to accommodate the additional time in the schedule. 


The APTA Oregon Continuing Education Committee will make the selection from the proposals for inclusion in the programming. Selection criteria include relevance to the field and audience, purpose, participation outcomes, evidence-based and practical application, clarity of the proposal, speaker experience, references, and time and space constraints. If you would like to be considered for a presentation, please complete and submit an application form prior to Sunday, September 20, 2026. For poster presentations, please complete and submit a poster abstract by Wednesday, November 9.
