APTR Elected Positions

In the fall of each year, APTR seeks members from diverse institutions, programs, and backgrounds to fill upcoming vacancies on the APTR Board of Directors. APTR Board members work together to advance the association and academic public and population health. Board members serve as a voice for faculty peers from across the country, ensure that APTR is responsive to our diverse membership, work with federal partners and funders, and provide guidance on APTR policies and positions.
