About the Course: The Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program
(CCIP) provides clinicians with the skills and information necessary to
provide a structured learning environment and enhanced educational
experience for students. Course content reflects an interdisciplinary
approach to experiential learning methods, with an emphasis on didactic content related to clinical teaching, supervision, and evaluation.
Participants are expected to understand and integrate the behaviors
and traits of highly effective educators, role models and mentors into
their performance as a clinical instructor. Successful course participants will return to their clinic with a greater understanding of:
-planning and preparing for clinical education experiences
-supportive learning through questioning and effective feedback
-identifying and implementing performance evaluation metrics
-managing students with exceptional situations or circumstances
-exploring legal implications for clinical educators, including issues presented by ADA legislation.
This course is intended for PTs and PTAs in a clinical setting with
more than one year of experience serving as a clinician and who intend to provide clinical education in a supervisory role to students.
Both new and experienced clinicians will benefit from participating in
the course. Classroom interaction is emphasized as a means to highlight and discuss different ideas and create a shared learning environment in which each student brings a unique and valuable perspective
to the conversation. PTs and PTAs who successfully complete this
course will receive a credential, which verifies their status as an APTA
- Credentialed Clinical Instructor (CI), as well as 1.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) which may be used to satisfy licensure renewal requirements.
