ELC PRE-CONFERENCE
APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) Level 2
| The CCIP Level 2 course brings two constructs together in one professional development program that advances both clinical teaching and best practice when providing student clinical education. Using a case-based and applied approach to education, this program both applies and goes beyond the concepts of the structured and effective learning environment from the CCIP Level 1 course to allow participants to further develop their clinical teaching skills and construct a clinical curriculum. The program’s unique philosophy and design will enable clinical educators to achieve the best outcomes for student learning. | |

This 1-day pre-conference workshop will provide opportunities for participants to build on their education research question of interest and engage in a participatory workshop with research mentors that leads to a plan of action for each participant. | |
