The AAPM&R Board of Governors hosts Critical PM&R Dialogues: Assembly of Delegates Meeting every year in person at the AAPM&R Annual Assembly. The purpose of this annual meeting is to discuss and provide input on a critical topic to the specialty of PM&R, designated by the Board of Governors. This year the meeting is held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, before the Annual Assembly begins. This year, the focus of the conversation relates to practice evolutions. Some of these topics may include PM&R Physicians in value-based care models, using technology/AI to enhance practice, or exploring alternative pathways.
Member Communities are invited to identify one delegate from their member community to participate in this event. The delegate will be asked to share their perspective. In accordance with the AAPM&R Principles of Inclusion and Engagement, the delegates will serve as a diverse focus group to ensure that a variety of membership perspectives are provided.
