Pelvic Health Education & Training 
Partner with the Academy to Host Foundational or Advanced Pelvic Health Courses at Your Facility

Bring Academy education to your community and help expand access to high-quality pelvic and obstetric health physical therapy training. We welcome host applications from universities, hospitals, residency programs, private practices, healthcare companies, and international partners.

Apply to Host in the United States or Internationally

Whether your goal is to expand pelvic health education within the United States or bring Academy courses to another country, the Academy welcomes applications from qualified facilities and organizations interested in partnering with us.

United States Hosts
Our U.S. host sites are typically hospitals, health systems, universities, residency programs, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and private practices. While host applications are often submitted by an individual physical therapist or staff member, the application must be submitted on behalf of the organization or company that will serve as the official host site and provide the required facilities, support, and resources for the course. View a list of upcoming courses hosted by facilities across the United States.

International Hosts
International host applications must be submitted on behalf of an organization, institution, university, hospital, clinic, or company that can serve as the official host site. Due to contractual, liability, insurance, and facility requirements, the Academy is unable to partner with individuals who are not affiliated with an organization or company for international course hosting. Applicants are organizations or companies that must be able to provide appropriate facilities, coordinate local logistics, and enter into a formal hosting agreement with the Academy. View a list of upcoming international courses hosted by our international host partners.

Annual Deadline: Apply by September 1 to be considered for next year’s schedule. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis with the goal of finishing scheduling courses by November. Applications submitted after the deadline may still be reviewed for future opportunities or on a case-by-case basis. Please note that applying does not guarantee that your site will be selected. Multiple factors are considered when selecting sites, including but not limited to geographic location, proximity to nearby airports, venue space, and date availability.

Why Host an Academy Course?

Complimentary Registrations

If you are hosting a U.S. course, you will receive 1–2 complimentary registrations that may be assigned to staff, residents, or eligible physical therapy students. Number of comp spots depend on total attendees registered and type of course you are hosting.

Train Your Team Locally

Support staff development while expanding access to pelvic and obstetric health education in your region. Host an exclusive private course for your staff only or host a course for your staff and outside PT/PTA/SPT professionals. Become the central hub for pelvic health physical therapy education in your region. 

Academy Support

If you are hosting a U.S. course, the Academy manages registration, marketing, customer service, Learning Center administration and fees, course materials, and approved disposable supply reimbursement. If you are hosting an international course, you are responsible for registration and marketing.

Expert Faculty

Bring pelvic health physical therapy experts to your facility. The Academy's 50+ instructors and teaching assistants deliver evidence-informed education while the Academy manages and covers faculty honoraria, travel, lodging, and per diem expenses.

All CAPP instructors complete a structured instructor mentorship process before teaching Academy courses and receive participant feedback after each course to support continuous improvement.

Evidence-Based Pelvic Health Education

When you host an Academy CAPP course, you're hosting more than a single instructor's course—you're bringing a nationally developed curriculum shaped by more than 30 Board-appointed subject matter experts. Academy CAPP courses undergo a rigorous development, peer-review, and editorial process to ensure content reflects current evidence, clinical expertise, and best practices in pelvic and obstetric health physical therapy.

Clinically Relevant Special Topic Courses

Special Topic courses are developed by recognized experts and offer advanced training, in-depth exploration of specialized topics, and education in emerging areas of practice beyond the Academy's core CAPP curriculum.

Each course is reviewed by the Academy to ensure it meets rigorous standards for educational quality, clinical relevance, and evidence-informed practice.

📚 Course Types Available for Hosting

The Academy is currently seeking qualified host sites that can accommodate 30-40 attendees for a variety of in-person pelvic health, obstetric health, and specialty courses. Most courses are offered as part of a recommended hosting sequence to maximize educational value and participant attendance.

Exam Tables / Plinths with Chairs
