Scholarship Details & Application Form

Have Your Institution, Hospital, or Clinic Host a Course

While this is not a formal scholarship, this opportunity awards the course host 1-2 free registrations. *See below for details.

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. 

In exchange for hosting, the Host facility receives 1-2 complimentary registrations in the hosted course. The host facility can assign this benefit to their resident, PT/PTA staff member, or a 2nd year or 3rd year physical therapy student.
