The Mary McMillan Lecture Award is the most distinguished honor an active APTA member physical therapist or life member can receive. Nominees must be physical therapists who are active or life members of the association. Recipients of the Mary McMillan Lecture Award and John H.P. Maley Lecture Award must present these lectures at an official APTA national event, and therefore selection is contingent on the recipient's ability to attend the national event at which the lecture is scheduled. Nominees for this award must have made distinguished contributions to the profession of physical therapy in the following areas: Administration, Education, Patient Care/Patient Client Management, and Research. A letter of nomination that specifically focuses on the strengths of the nominee in relation to the award criteria is required. Six letters of support from individuals who can specifically address one or more of the criteria for selection must also be submitted. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Physical Therapy Association for more information.
