APTA’s Director of Regulatory Affairs Kara Gainer, JD and Alan Chong W. Lee, PT, PhD, DPT walk us through a great resource produced by APTA.

The top ten list walks a clinician through the first 10 steps that need to be on your to-do list if you’re venturing into telehealth as a Physical Therapist.

The list is well ordered, thought out and full of links to other resources available to you.

This is a great example of the value of membership in the APTA.
