Course Description
The Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) is intended for health care providers who work primarily in a clinical setting and are interested in developing their teaching abilities. Participants will explore different aspects of the clinical learning environment and will learn skills and techniques necessary to provide a structured and effective learning environment for students. The goal is not to improve individual clinical skills, but to develop and refine each participant’s ability to teach, instruct, and guide the development of his or her students.
The course overview and objectives are available at APTA website.

Cancellation Policy
Individuals must cancel their CCIP registration and request a refund 72 hours prior to the start date of the course and the CI course manual must be returned to APTA. The refund amount will be equivalent to the APTA portion of the registration fee only. Refund amounts less than $90.00 will be issued in the form of a credit voucher, applicable towards the purchase of any product from the APTA store or toward registration fees for courses or conferences. Credit vouchers will expire 6 months after the date of issue.
Continuing Education Credit and Credentialing
Successful completion of the course provides physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with 1.6 CEU’s* and the Clinical Instructor Credential. Health care providers from other professions are eligible to receive 1.2 CEU’s,* but may not be awarded the Clinical Instructor Credential.
Please be aware that neither the Clinical Instructor Credential nor CEU credit will be awarded to any participant who does not attend the full program. As the course requirements clearly stipulate, individuals must attend all of the program to earn CEUs and the CI Credential (if a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant). Licensees should verify with their state licensing board for acceptance of continuing education units by reviewing the relevant state practice act and/or administrative code. For more information about licensure, visit APTA website.
