Host a Pelvic Health Course at Your Facility

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in hosting! Don’t miss the annual deadline—apply by September 1 to be considered for next year’s schedule! We will be reviewing applications September-November and sending decisions. If you submit after the deadline, we may still review your application for future opportunities or on a case-by-case basis.

If you or your employer have an interest in establishing a women's health or pelvic health department at your outpatient hospital or practice, or if you aim to enhance your women's health or pelvic health program at your university, hospital, or clinic, hosting our courses is an excellent way to train your physical therapy staff and students.

When you choose to host, the Academy handles all the logistics, including registration, marketing, customer service, learning management software fees, reimbursement for dispensable supplies, and provision of course materials. We also bring our exceptional instructors, who are experts from across the country, to your location, delivering the course at your facility.

We are currently looking for facilities such as universities, hospitals, and private clinics to host a diverse range of in-person courses. Share more details about your facility by applying below!

Hosting Benefits

Receive Free Course Registrations

In exchange for hosting, you receive 1-2 complimentary registrations in the hosted course. You can assign this benefits to yourself, your resident (if you are based at a residency), one of your PT staff members or a 2nd year or 3rd year physical therapy student (if you are based at a university). All changes to our course curriculum occur through a rigorous, peer-review/consensus process to ensure the information instructed is up-to-date and evidence-based, meaning all lecture and lab modules are only accepted after thorough review and group consensus decision.

Increase Education Access

You will find that hosting increases the reach of our profession and provides increased access to education for physical therapy professionals. Hosting strengthens the quality of education at your facility or the training available.

What You Need to Host

On-Site Host Coordinator & Ability to Fulfill Host Duties Checklist

An on-site coordinator must be designated by the Host to oversee the planning and implementation of the course. Prior to the course, the coordinator will be the point of contact for Academy staff and Instructors. The host coordinator is responsible for the course logistics and operations, and should be on-site throughout each day of the course to troubleshoot and problem-solve. An influential “go-to” person within the host facility can make that happen. Instructors must be able to communicate among themselves and with the host coordinator at all times. The host coordinator should be accessible via cell phone (on-site) and email (prior to and after the course). The coordinator ensures all course material shipments arrive from the Academy office and may give a tour of the facility space to the faculty 1 day prior to the course. To successfully prepare to host the course, the host must carefully review our checklist.

Easy Access to/from Airport, Hotels, Restaurants

Easy access to transportation, airports, hotels, and places to eat around your location; preference is given to sites that are less than 1 hour away from the nearest airport and that are in walking distance to hotels. Approximately 50% of our course attendees travel out-of-state and will rely on hotel lodging throughout the duration of their stay in your city. When you complete the host application, you will be asked to provide a list of nearby airports/hotels/restaurants. We recommend for the on-site coordinator to print several copies of restaurant lists and have them available at the sign-in desk.

Meeting Space

Lecture and lab space to hold at least 30-60 students comfortably, with privacy necessary for Pelvic courses. Preference is given to hosts that can accommodate 40+ participants. Classrooms must have adequate lighting, suitable acoustics, ventilation, temperature control, presentation capabilities and flexible seating in order to expose students to the various types of room sets such as lecture and lab room with enough space to easily move around the tables and chairs. There is one 1-hour lunch break per day, one 15-minute morning break, and one 15-min afternoon break. It is best to set up morning/afternoon snacks either inside the classroom (if there is space) or in the foyer outside of the classroom. 

Exam tables for all PH and OB courses containing labs (1 exam table per 2 participants. i.e. For a class of 40, you will need 20 plinths with enough room to move around each table).
