APTA Academy of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary PT Member Awards

The Academy seeks to honor members that have made significant contributions towards the advancement of our mission and vision through excellence in clinical practice, education, research, and service.  

Awards were presented at CSM 2025 in Houston on February 13th during our Membership Meeting.

Play a significant supporting role in helping your colleagues receive recognition for their achievements by nominating the person or persons you feel are most deserving of an Academy Member Award.  

The Mentoring, Merit, Emerging Leader, and Friend of the Academy Awards are awarded at CSM each year.  The Linda Crane Award is announced at CSM after the conclusion of the Linda Crane Lecture and awarded at the following year's CSM. 

CPTJ Awards are decided by our Editor-In-Chief and his team and the Best Platform and Poster Awards are decided by our Research Committee.
