ACAPT's Physical Therapist Clinical Education Glossary addresses the problem that academic and clinical faculty often use different terminology when describing their work within physical therapy education. You can also read the published article: Recommendations from ACAPT's Common Terminology Panel (2018).
Subsequently, the APTA Academy of Education and its Clinical Education Terminology Task Force of the Academy's PTA Educators SIG created the Physical Therapy Clinical Education Glossary, including PT & PTA clinical education terminology.
ACAPT members approved the following motion in October 2020: Motion to refer AC 8-20 to the ACAPT Board of Directors with the following instructions:
That ACAPT work collaboratively with the APTE PTA SIG to develop a resource that maintains the ACAPT Physical Therapist Clinical Education glossary in concert with a document created by the APTE PTA SIG reflective of the PTA clinical education terms unique to the PTA designation and determine a method of distribution that ensures ready access while maintaining the integrity and independence of each organization’s respective documents.
