January 09 APTA Clinical Instructor Education and Credentialing Program
APTA Clinical Instructor Education and Credentialing Program –January 9-10, 2010
 
Presenter: Gina Musolino, PT, EdD
 
 
Effective January 1, 2010 all Clinical Instructors
must be credentialed through APTA to supervise
foreign educated physical therapists.
 

This program is recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as a Clinical Instructor (CI) Education and Credentialing Program. The program was developed through a grant funded by APTA.
 
The program addresses issues of planning and preparing for students from the health care disciplines during their clinical education experiences; developing learning experiences and supporting ongoing learning through questioning and effective feedback. Skills of evaluation are discussed, as well as the identification and management of students with exceptional situations. The program closes with a brief look at legal implications for clinical educators, including issues presented by ADA legislation.
 
The “Assessment Center” provides each participant with the opportunity to apply information from the program in simulated situations. Successful completion of each station in the Assessment Center results in the awarding of APTA’s CI Credential. The six assessment center stations are integrated into the program schedule.
 
This course will be held at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Vallejo, CA. Click here <http://www.ccapta.org/associations/9137/files/01_09_10_CIECP_Flyer.pdf> for a registration form and additional information!

December 01 Essentials of Screening for Medical Referral (Webinar)

Essentials of Screening for Medical Referral (Webinar) – December 1 Noon-2pm

 

Presenter: Mary Bailey Long, PT, DPT, OCS, CHT

 

This session will expose the Physical Therapist to the process of Review of Systems used as part of subjective exam in medicine. This will be adapted for appropriate use in physical therapy to help screen for potential conditions that may warrant referral to a medical provider. We will also include a brief guideline for questions related to cancer or possible metastatic processes. We will then address key screening issues by body system and will highlight some potentially emergent situations. This overview will provide the participant with a current expectation of knowledge in the screening arena at the DPT level. This will in turn allow the physical therapist to assess his or her own knowledge base about screening and guide him or her in selection of future coursework in screening content.

 

 

A webinar is a course taught by audio conference and website presentation. You can participate by audio conference only, however for the full impact; you will want to participate by telephone and internet simultaneously.
