What if the missing piece in your patient's progress isn't the diagnosis—but the medication list?

Join us on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the 2026 APTA-WV Annual Conference for When the Patient Doesn't Behave: Medications as Hidden Drivers of Impairment in Physical Therapy Practice with nationally recognized educator Dr. Sujoy Bose.

Patients who present with unexplained weakness, fatigue, dizziness, falls, or poor exercise tolerance don't always fit the expected clinical picture. In this interactive session, you'll learn practical strategies to recognize when medications may be contributing to movement dysfunction and how to integrate pharmacology into your examination, clinical reasoning, and plan of care.

Using real-world cases and evidence-informed discussion, Dr. Bose will provide tools you can immediately apply to improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize patient outcomes across a variety of practice settings—including acute care, outpatient, neurologic, orthopedic, and geriatric rehabilitation.

If you're looking to strengthen your clinical decision-making and better manage today's increasingly medically complex patients, this is a session you won't want to miss!
