Peer2Peer NetWorks is based on the "mastermind" principle. Private practice owners of similar, non-competitive practices come together in small groups (5-8 physical therapists) to share best practices, discuss "hot topics", establish key metric benchmarks, analyze operations, build life-long friendships, and work toward helping each other improve the bottom line. The mission of the Private Practice Section (PPS) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is to "champion the success of the physical therapist in business." Networking has long been identified by members as a key benefit of PPS membership that helps them build more successful practices. Peer2Peer NetWorks take networking to the next level through structured meetings that focus on each member's individual success. Members will help each other to be accountable, functioning much like a corporate board.
