Clinician engagement in academic physical therapy focus groups
The ACAPT Clinical Engagement Task Force is assessing the current landscape of clinical partner engagement in academic physical therapy at the local, regional and national levels.
We are planning to conduct focus groups with clinicians - specifically SCCEs and CIs.
Details about the focus groups
- Focus groups will be conducted virtually at a date and time
convenient to your schedule and should last no longer than 90 minutes.
- Questions will seek to understand:
- What an ideal clinical-academic partnership may
look like,
- What is most valuable in clinical-academic collaborations
- Your engagement with local, regional, or national academic partners in physical
therapy education.
- We plan to use the results of this study and focus groups to
establish and publish recommendations for ACAPT to increase clinical partner
engagement in academic physical therapy and to suggest opportunities for
adapting ACAPT’s membership structure to facilitate a direct relationship
between ACAPT and clinical education sites.
