Research Resources
APTA Oregon is committed to providing the tools for our members to provide the most effective physical therapy treatments for their patients. We foster the dissemination and development of physical therapy research in Oregon by offering tools and courses to improve the clinicians access to and comprehension of research. We also seek to foster research within the physical therapy community by encouraging researchers to present their findings to our members at conferences or through association publications.
