This document contains the recommendations that emerged from major topics of discussion at the 2008 APS/AAPT Graduate Education Conference. The recommendations are followed by a section on promising practices that departments and professional societies might adopt to implement the recommendations. These practices emerged from discussion and specific examples presented at the conference, and would obviously be adapted to local conditions. While the conference specifically addressed issues in graduate education, many of the recommendations are also pertinent to undergraduate education.
