Nomination or self-nomination statements must be submitted to begin the process. Then, the nominee must submit their current curriculum vitae or resume; online application; and two support statements obtained from a physical therapist colleague from the nominee's institution and a current or former student who is representative of an academic level of teaching in which the nominee has been engaged. The academic experience of the student should include attendance through at least one entire course taught by the nominee.
