Welcome Directors

The Arizona Physical Therapy Directors (AZPTD) purpose is to provide a forum for discussing topics of common interest and concerns to managers of programs providing rehabilitative care.

Our History
The group was established in the 1970s to provide a forum for the discussion of topics of common interest and concern to managers of programs providing rehabilitative care. Monthly meetings have included topics on supervisory skills, legislation that impacts physical therapy and rehabilitation, and new developments in rehabilitative care. In addition, each meeting consists of a roundtable, allowing each member to discuss with the group any concerns specific to their practice setting.

Meeting Days: 3rd Tuesday of the Month
Meeting Times: Varies
No Meetings in: July, October, and November
