Why APTA?

Why APTA?
APTA’s Print Publications—
The FIRST Choice for
Physical Therapists!
The results of APTA’s 2007 readership survey are clear… APTA’s print publications remain THE sources
physical therapists turn to FIRST.* Whether seeking the latest in research, reimbursement or practice,
information on products and services in the marketplace, or the best jobs and continuing education
courses in physical therapy – APTA is the source physical therapists turn to FIRST.
When asked, “If all seven of the following publications arrived on your desk
in the same day, which would you read first?” respondents overwhelmingly
placed Physical Therapy and PT Magazine at the top of the charts.*
It’s not surprising…given that APTA’s print publications offer the ONLY paid circulation in the market.**
Members of APTA are committed to their career in physical therapy and demonstrate this commitment by
investing their money in APTA membership. They place great value in the benefits that APTA membership
provides, specifically Physical Therapy and PT Magazine.

Physical therapy is a “hot” career—but then
you already knew that!
PARADE Magazine recently listed a career in physical therapy as one of the six “hottest jobs for college
graduates.”* And the Chicago Tribune reported findings of a poll from the National Opinion Research
Center at the University of Chicago that places physical therapists second among the five top occupations in
job satisfaction, and the only health care professionals listed.**
As the national membership organization for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and physical
therapy students, APTA is committed to promoting the profession and raising awareness of the wonderful
benefits and opportunities of a career in physical therapy. One of the ways APTA promotes physical therapy
is through a professional ad campaign running in Newsweek magazine.
Meeting the demand for physical therapists can be challenging. Particularly since our recent survey shows
that a large number of physical therapists are happy in their current position! In fact, 67% of survey
respondents say they do not have a resume posted online because they have no interest in changing
positions! ***
APTA provides important resources for employers seeking physical therapists —recruitment ads in the
pages of PT Magazine (PT Bulletin Digest) postings on APTA’s Online Job Bank, www.apta.org/jobs, and
sponsorships of PT Bulletin Online.

“I love that PTJ is online! I am able to download, print, and read the individual articles
that I like without having to carry the journal with me all the time. I can watch patient
videos that show how interventions were done and how patients progressed, listen to the
audio version of abstracts on my iPod while I do other things, and customize my own
email alerts for new articles from more than one thousand journals! You can sign up for
any or all RSS feeds you want—current table of contents, future table of contents, articles
published ahead of print, research reports only, case reports only. You also can search on
keywords, author names, time period—never again do you have to flip through pages of
old journals to find full text of an article you want. You have to see this site.”
