APTA thanks the PTACAS work group — PTA program faculty, admissions committee chairs, and program directors — who helped create application content, set policies, and determine the best path forward for spreading the word about this service. APTA also appreciates the PTA programs that supported this project through the adoption of the application at their institutions.
