In 1998, the Section on Administration of the APTA (now the Section on Health Policy & Administration) convened a task force on leadership, administration, and management preparation to examine and develop a position on professional education related to leadership, administration, management processes (LAMP). The outcome of this Task Force was the publication of a white paper in The Resource, Volume 29 No 1, the publication of the Section on Administration.
Since 1998, HPA is sponsored a number of conferences focusing on content related to the original LAMP white paper, as well as research related to the LAMP concepts. At this time, HPA has appointed a Steering Committee for the Standardization of Professional Practice, chaired by Annette Iglarsh, PT, MBA, DPT, to further develop and expand the concepts of LAMP.
- If you are interested in getting involved with the Steering Committee or have questions about future developments related to LAMP, please contact the HPA Vice President .
