APTANJ is seeking speakers for its educational series and webinars

Courses in our educational series are held at the APTANJ headquarters in Trenton or at other locations in New Jersey. The APTANJ office is conveniently located near the NJ Turnpike Exit 7A in Mercer County. Our facility provides a professional atmosphere that can accommodate courses of various sizes, depending on the type and length of program.

Our webinars are usually held during the week (Monday through Thursday), 7:00 pm-9:00 pm, and can be 60, 90 or 120 minutes.

Do you have information that would appeal to a niche market? Are you an experienced clinician who would love to share the knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years regarding a specific concentrated practice? Are you a new educator who’s comfortable in front of students, but want to expand your presentations to colleagues in the field? Are you looking for a way to fine tune your presentation before taking it to a regional or national level? The APTANJ Educational Series is a great way to expand your comfort zone.
