This unique event aims to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and enhance knowledge surrounding pelvic health within the LGBTQ+ community. We are seeking dynamic speakers and innovative session ideas that explore the intersection of LGBTQ+ identities and pelvic health physical therapy.

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:

• Culturally competent care for transgender and non-binary individuals
• Addressing pelvic health concerns in LGBTQ+ populations
• Advocacy and allyship in pelvic health practice
• Intersectionality of identities in pelvic health care
• Navigating unique challenges in pelvic health physical therapy within diverse communities

Speaker Eligibility

• At least one speaker in the session must be an Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy member (preferred).
• The topic may be co-presented by one or multiple individuals.

Proposal Expectations

• Completion: Must include all the component requirements as listed on the call for proposals.
• Duration: Presentation must be 45-min in duration
  Topic Scope: Proposal topic must align with the event theme, APTA Pelvic Health mission, and scope of practice.
• Originality: Session proposals should be informative, engaging, and relevant to pelvic health physical therapy in the LGBTQ+ context. Must avoid presenting repetitive information that duplicates content previously shared at past symposiums. The proposed topic should not be identical or too similar to a CAPP course or an existing Collaborative Course. However, if the proposal is based on a similar topic, it should offer differentiation by exploring the subject in greater depth or approaching it from a unique perspective. Originality and avoiding redundancy are key considerations when preparing and submitting proposals.
• Evidence-Based: Provides valuable, evidence-based insights and perspectives to the conference attendees.
• Knowledge Transfer: Topics should include a section of the presentation that explains how clinicians can implement the course content into practice.
