APTA's Learning Center courses will soon become a lot more accessible, thanks to a partnership with the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) that will add the association's continuing education (CE) offerings to a widely used online system.

In the coming months, APTA will add its complete catalog of Learning Center courses to aPTitude, FSBPT's online system that allows physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) to search for CE courses and track attendance. The resource is also available to state physical therapy licensing boards, which can use aPTitude for evaluation of CE compliance for purposes of licensure renewal.

"APTA is excited to build on its established relationship with FSBPT by utilizing aPTitude," said APTA CEO Justin Moore, PT, DPT, in an association news release. "We look forward to mutually helping our members more easily navigate [CE] courses and activities."

APTA already has loaded preconference and educational sessions for the 2018 Combined Sections Meeting into aPTitude. More courses and conference content will be added through the spring.

The aPTitude arrangement was achieved by way of a formal partnership with FSBPT. Launched in 2017, the APTA partnership program is an initiative aimed at enhancing and developing mutually supportive and collaborative relationships with other organizations that have common interests and objectives.
