We are conducting this survey to assess the level and background of faculty teaching the Cardiovascular and Pulmonary PT (CVPT) content in PT programs across the country. The purpose is to be able to identify what is the typical staffing level of CVPT education in PT programs. This may be used to then encourage and/or mentor cardiovascular and pulmonary PTs that are interested in entering education. Please fill out the following survey based on the institution at which you are currently employed.
