APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program- Remaining Balance
The Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program is a voluntary program designed primarily for people interested in or involved with clinical education, such as clinical instructors, site coordinators of clinical education, and directors of clinical education. It is recognized by APTA as a clinical instructor education and credentialing program.
Other health care providers who offer clinical education in a supervisory role to students, including physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, and health care providers from other professions can use this program to enhance their clinical instruction education. In an effort to improve quality and standardization of clinical experiences at Children’s Hospital Colorado, all physical therapy clinical instructors at Children’s Hospital Colorado will need to have participated in this course.
In addition to registration through the CHCO portal, online registration through the APTA must also be completed.
