Know and Grow Your Value: APTA Members Share Their Insights

We know what physical therapy can do for our patients, clients, and society. But it's also important to understand the ways we can grow and thrive in our careers. We need to take the time to look at where we've come from, where we are, and where we'd like to be.

That's the idea behind APTA's Know and Grow project, an expanding collection of short videos of members sharing their reflections on their careers — lessons learned, opportunities discovered, roads taken (and not taken), and more.
