PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT | |
|
Dear Colleague,
I have been asked by the Academy of Physical Therapy Education to conduct a needs assessment with the objective of determining perceived professional development needs of individuals involved in the academic and/or clinical education of physical therapy students (PT or PTA), residents or fellows. The ultimate goal is for the Academy to provide relevant and focused opportunities for individuals to develop new knowledge and skills related to their professional responsibilities.
On behalf of the Academy, I am asking that you complete the needs assessment survey linked here. Additionally, please feel free to forward the email to share the link with colleagues.
The survey should take you no longer than 15 minutes to complete unless you choose to elaborate on any responses. Your responses are completely anonymous unless you choose to provide contact information at the end.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Diane U. Jette, PT, DPT, DSc, FAPTA

ACADEMY'S UPCOMING WEBINARS | |

Utilizing A Brief Training Module to Orient First Time
Clinical Instructors to Clinical Expectations
November 2nd from 7:00-8:00 PM ET
Through discussion during Clinical Education Special Interest Group (PTA CE SIG) meetings, it was apparent that clinical instructors (CIs) serve as an extension of the academic faculty and that there is a lack of formally trained CIs. Studies have shown that there is not only a need for early and ongoing communication between academic faculty and CIs, but also a need for some training to guide novice CIs through the clinical expectations and processes. Authors have discussed that not all Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) components are needed to meet the needs of today’s CI. The dilemma is that CIs are expected to have minimum requirements and the CCIP program is voluntary, not mandatory. In order to close this gap between CI training and novice CI expectations, we developed a brief training module to guide novice CIs in the processes of orientation, feedback, student/site visit expectations, assessment tool use and grading, and the importance of unique exposures during the clinical experiences. Implementation of this training module is in its early stages. We intend to develop a future survey of CIs that will help to clarify and determine the usefulness and any modifications that may be needed to the training module.

At the conclusion, presenters will provide guidelines for selection and examples of didactic content that may be effectively taught via team-based learning.

The Admissions Network was recently created within the Academic Faculty SIG with the purpose of fostering discussion topics related to recruitment and holistic admissions in PT and PTA education. There will be an opportunity to network, share research and case studies, ask pertinent questions, and disseminate resources.
Mark your calendars! The next virtual event will be Wednesday, November 8th at 7pm EST. Based on survey responses from the first session there was an overwhelming desire to talk about recruitment, so the next session will feature some brief announcements followed by an open discussion about recruitment.
