Abstract:
As physical therapists and physical therapist assistants transition from clinical practice to academic roles, they encounter a profound significant transformation in responsibilities, expectations, and professional identity. This EduGraphic serves as a foundation to facilitate this pivotal shift. It provides a structured overview of six essential building blocks needed to support professional academic development-the transition process, navigating academia, culture and compliance, teaching essentials, student engagement, and research, service, and professional growth. Designed to support new faculty in physical therapy programs, this resource integrates the core pillars of academic life-teaching, research, and service. It aims to empower clinicians-turned-educators to create a plan for success in their new roles and contribute meaningfully to the preparation of future physical therapy professionals.
