What We Look For
Creating Strong Educational Proposals

Strong proposals help attendees apply what they learn, improve their work and return to their organizations with useful strategies, ideas and perspectives.
Focus on current or emerging challenges, opportunities and solutions affecting the profession.
Give attendees ideas, tools or strategies they can use beyond the conference session itself.
Keep the needs and experience of physician and provider recruitment professionals at the center of the session.
Educational Alignment
AAPPR Competency Model
AAPPR educational topics are aligned with the AAPPR Competency Model, which outlines the behavioral competencies and knowledge areas needed for effective performance within physician and provider recruitment.
The model can also serve as a helpful resource for anyone considering future speaking opportunities with AAPPR.
