Community Connections
NDTA has created an informative and exciting networking opportunity for you!
Our goal is to provide our NDTA community with a platform that will bring fellow colleagues together to network and share NDT ideas and strategies for assessment, treatment, and problem-solving. We are planning events on specific topics and themes for both the pediatric and adult populations, to discuss topic successes, and concerns, and entertain any questions you have.
This is a member-driven event, not a lecture. Members should bring their questions and share topic strategies, ideas, and network.
This event is supported by the exceptional expertise of our Instructor Group.
Have a topic suggestion for a future event? Please share! Post in the NDTA Community Connections Group.
