If I ran the world, outpatient physical therapy clinics would only be open from 8:30-2:30pm.

In an organization that spans from coast to coast, north to south, it's simply amazing when we get large groups of us in the same room together to discuss the state of physical therapy and manual therapy. To hash out how best to evolve our approach to meet the needs of PTs today, and ultimately, the patients whose lives they're committed to improving. NAIOMT had a great turnout for our Northwest Regional meeting located in beautiful Portland Oregon a few weeks ago. We had sessions on strategies for further expansion of OMPT professional development and communication, as well as education and examination excellence.

We were also able to touch on research and publication development: improving the quality of fellowship projects.
