Enhancing clinical education

ACAPT is working on innovative models for clinical education.

Thanks to the National Consortium of Clinical Educators (NCCE) for all their invaluable work over the years.  We look forward to continued success under the new Clinical Education Commission leadership.

Clinical education placement data

An ACAPT National Consortium of Clinical Educators (NCCE) task force - Placement Capacity and Process Innovation - completed an inpatient & outpatient survey with over 2,000 total respondents.  Thanks to Exxat for helping distribute the survey to SCCEs.

Stay tuned for complete results & recommendations for transforming the current placement process to maximize availability and efficiency.
