Call for KT Lecture Award Submissions: Due 3/31

APTA Pediatrics hosts the Knowledge Translation (KT) Lecture at the APTA Combined Section Meetings triennially; the next KT Lecture will be at CSM 2022.

If a pediatric clinician is nominated and chosen, he/she shall select a pediatric researcher. The award recipients shall be current APTA Pediatric members.
