The Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) Level 2 course is designed for those people who have successfully completed the APTA and want to further develop their clinical teaching skills and construct a clinical curriculum.

The unique philosophy and design of the Level 2 course both applies and goes beyond the concepts of the structured learning environment of the Level 1 course to enable clinical educators to achieve the best outcomes for student learning.

Program participants must complete prerequisites including completion of a CCIP Level II Online Registration, a series of three online professionalism modules, and review four articles, in addition to completing a live 2-day program with an Assessment component. Successful completion of the course provides credentialed CIs with 1.7 CEUs and the APTA CCIP Level II credential. Clinicians from other health care professions who complete CCIP Level II are eligible to receive 1.3 CEUs, but would not be awarded the Level II CI Credential.

For more information, please read the overview below.

Overview

From 2007 to 2017, the APTA offered the Advanced Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (ACCIP), which was available to credentialed physical therapists to advance both clinical teaching and best practice when providing student clinical education. The ACCIP has now been replaced with the CCIP Level II, which is open to a wider audience. The CCIP Level II both applies and goes beyond the concepts of the structured and effective learning environment from CCIP Level I 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.

The program is divided into three distinct parts:

1. Precourse assignments that include reading four articles and completing three of the online Professionalism Modules.
2. Clinical instructor education via an interactive didactic course format that is appropriate to all clinical educators.
3. Assessment (credentialing) of curricula outcomes through an Assessment Center to apply information from the CCIP Level II.

These components are used together to first provide, and then assess, the knowledge and skill identified as essential for Level II CIs. Only CCIP Level II Credentialed Clinical Trainers recognized by APTA can conduct CCIP Level II courses.

Program Outcomes

At the conclusion of the Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program Level II, the participant will be able to:

1. Discuss the benefits and key components of a clinical curriculum.
2. Advance clinical teaching concepts learned in the Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program, Level I (CCIP I) as applied to the novice-mastery clinical practice continuum.
3. Integrate professionalism in a clinical curriculum that promotes the guiding principles to achieve the Vision for the Physical Therapy Profession (2013) and the core values.
4. Diagnose and foster a student's clinical reasoning.
5. Outline a clinical curriculum to meet key learning experiences critical to patient management in their practice.
6. Integrate interprofessional education and collaborative practice into a clinical curriculum.
7. Integrate advocacy into a clinical curriculum.

Intended Audience

Physical therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants who are APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructors and who have supervised at least one student since completing the education and credentialing program are eligible to register for this program.
