Volunteer
We are building a community that advances the profession of physical therapy to improve the health of society. Your efforts impact the lives of patients, students, and colleagues on a daily basis. Your engagement in the conversation and the work of this association is how we move this profession forward. Build your community by volunteering.
You are APTAMD.
Celebrate National Physical Therapy Month and raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy. This year’s theme is falls and fall-related injury prevention and awareness. APTA has created a suite of ChoosePT branded assets to help you amplify this year’s theme in your sphere of influence and show your professional pride during NPTM in October and beyond.
APTAMD encourage you to get out and support the Maryland Department of Health’s Annual Walk Maryland Day on October 2 and help get Marylanders active.
Joining a walking group to walk, roll, or move is easy. Residents can join walks in any Maryland community. If you don’t find a walk in your area, you can create a walking group and encourage others to join.
You can use these hashtags when sharing your walking pictures: #WalkMD2024, #APTAMD, #ChoosePT, #APTA

PT Day of Service (PTDOS) is October 12, 2024 and is all about creating positive change on the local level for global effect!
It all started with one question, What if? What if on the same day, clinicians, students and associated staff of the Physical Therapy profession volunteered in different communities around the world?”
