CI Certification Course – Part II
Saturday, May 3, 2014
Austin, TX
Presented by
Texas Consortium for Physical
Therapy Clinical Education, Inc.
Hosted and Sponsored by
University of St. Augustine-Texas
Austin, Texas
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course offers learning opportunities for both novice and experienced PTs and PTAs involved in clinical
education. Clinical education makes up one-third of PT program curricula and nearly one-half of PTA
curricula. Your role as a Clinical Instructor is critical to the success of PT and PTA students’ entry into the
profession. As a clinical faculty member, you have the opportunity and responsibility to direct the future of
physical therapy.
Clinical Instructor Certification must be obtained in two parts (as of January 2008):
Part I is a web-based course and must be taken prior to this course (unless you have proof of
having attended a certification course by the Texas Consortium from 2004 -2014). It provides a foundation
upon which Part II is based. You may register and take this course at www.texasconsortium.org. It is $40
for 0.4 CEUs.
Part II is an onsite course building on the content in Part I to prepare CIs to mentor the next
generation of students as the profession moves toward Vision 2020 and our profession’s new vision. Upon
completion of this course you will be able to:
 Discuss the impact of Vision 2020 and the new vision on clinical education and integrate future
changes into your facility’s clinical education program.
 Develop a clinical curriculum based on behavioral objectives for students and foster more
independent student learning.
 Analyze situations when students struggle and intervene with effective strategies. Recognize
when students can be challenged to perform at the next level.
 Assist students in developing clinical decision-making and problem-solving skills.
 Interact with colleagues to practice your skills as a clinical instructor.
