Recently published in the Physical Therapy Journal (PTJ), the article "Current and Projected Future Supply and Demand for Physical Therapists from 2022 to 2037: A New Approach Using Microsimulation" projects a fluctuating shortfall in the supply of physical therapists relative to projected demand through 2037. Using a microsimulation model and a variety of data sources, the authors highlight how a growing demand for PT services may outpace the supply, potentially limiting patient access to care.

Join researchers involved in the PTJ article and the APTA companion report, “APTA Supply and Demand Forecast 2022-2037”, to hear insights into the development of the forecast model and results.
