Get ready for an engaging and thought-provoking session at the 2026 APTA-WV Annual Conference on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Charleston, West Virginia.

Join nationally and internationally recognized educator and clinician Dr. Sujoy Bose for a dynamic 90-minute course, When the Patient Doesn't Behave: Medications as Hidden Drivers of Impairment in Physical Therapy Practice, that challenges clinicians to rethink how medications influence movement, function, and patient outcomes. With over a decade of experience teaching pharmacology, physiology, pathology, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, Dr. Bose brings a powerful systems-based approach to clinical reasoning in medically complex patients. His expertise as a board-certified Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Clinical Specialist makes this session especially relevant for clinicians seeking to elevate their diagnostic thinking and physical therapy practice.

Through clinical cases and real-world patient scenarios, attendees will explore how medications may be the hidden driver behind unexplained weakness, falls, fatigue, poor exercise response, or presentations that simply “don’t fit.” Dr. Bose will guide participants through high-yield pattern recognition strategies that integrate pharmacology into examination, movement analysis, and plan of care development. This is more than a pharmacology lecture—it is an invitation to sharpen clinical reasoning, improve diagnostic accuracy, and better serve today’s increasingly complex patient population. Whether you practice in acute care, outpatient, neurologic, geriatric, or orthopedic settings, this session will transform the way you think about medications and movement.

Join colleagues and students for an unforgettable weekend of learning, connection, and professional growth.
