Nov. 2, 2024 TX Consortium-PT Clinical Ed. In-Person Part II: CI Cert.

The Texas Consortium for Physical Therapy Clinical Education Inc. offers a two-part certification course for clinical instructors to enhance their ability to effectively establish or improve a clinical education program at their site while understanding the benefits students bring for their own professional growth but also to the clinical environment. Most importantly, clinicians will understand how to progress a student through the experience utilizing effective teaching and learning methods.

In 2017, a new course was launched with the clinician now able to obtain the foundational knowledge of building and implementing a clinical education program through self-paced modules which include active learning strategies (Part I). Once completed, the clinician will obtain six CCU’s. This course is the first of the two if the clinician would like to earn the credential of being a certified clinical instructor through the Texas Consortium for Physical Therapy Clinical Education Inc. Part II of this certification is completed virtually in an interactive synchronous manner, facilitated by one or more academic DPT program Consortium members. It consists of a four-hour CCU course designed to integrate and build upon the foundational knowledge learned through the Part I CCU course. Part II of the course will not be lecture based but rather active learning with small group and facilitator interaction.

Once the Part I is completed and the clinician must have the completed learning activities from Part I available during Part II of the course. Once both courses are successfully completed, the Consortium will grant the Certified Clinical Instructor credential. It is fine if a clinician chooses to only participate in the Part I, as six CCU’s are still earned. The clinician is not able to complete Part II unless they first take the Part I course as the foundational knowledge gained in Part I is essential, Part II is the application of the Part I prerequisite.
