Selected recipients will be awarded a course scholarship sponsored by the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy (APTA Pelvic Health), which can be applied toward advanced training in pelvic health through the Academy’s Certificate of Advanced Practice in Physical Therapy in Pelvic Health or Obstetric Health (CAPP-Pelvic / CAPP-OB) programs.
