About the Program:
This program is recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as a Clinical Instructor (CI) Education and Credentialing Program.

It takes 15 hours to complete the entire program for CI Education and Credentialing.
NOTE: All participants must attend each session in its entirety. PTs and PTAs must complete the Assessment Center to be eligible for credentialing. Other health professionals will not take the assessment center, but will receive a certificate of participation.
The program addresses issues of planning and preparing for physical therapy students during their clinical education experiences, developing learning experiences and supporting ongoing learning through questioning and effective feedback. Skills of evaluation are discussed, as well as the identification and management of students with exceptional situations. The program includes a brief look at legal implications for clinical educators, including issues presented by ADA legislation.
The Assessment Center provides each participant with the opportunity to apply information from the program in simulated situations. Successful completion of each station in the Assessment Center results in the awarding of APTA CI Credentialing. The six stations of the Assessment Center have been integrated into the program schedule. It is essential each participant attend all sessions of the course and Assessment Center in its entirety.
