Communication about ECPTS within your country:

After being present at the General Meeting held in Hamburg this year, we have gathered more information regarding the ECPTS’s objectives and strategy fornext year. At our General Meeting held in October our representative who was in Hamburg has presented the information regarding ECPTS and also during our National Physical Therapy Congress we have presented ECPTS with all the benefits to being included in such an organization. We had the honor of informing the students that starting this year ASFR will be part of the ECPTS.
