Clinical Education Awards
The purpose of these awards is to recognize a facility or an individual physiotherapist within the Atlantic Provinces who demonstrates excellence in, or makes an outstanding contribution to, the clinical education of students over an extended period of time.
This award may be given on an annual basis.
Criteria could include:
1. The development, implementation, and evaluation of an innovative supervision model.
2. The design and implementation of student in-services/teaching sessions
3. Consistent acceptance of more than the recommended minimum number of students per year (2 per therapist)
4. A high level of student satisfaction based on evaluation information from the Clinical Placement Feedback Form.
5. The recognition of leadership abilities in the area of clinical education.
Nominations are normally submitted by students, but could be from Clinical Supervisors, Facility Coordinators, Provincial Coordinators or the Academic Clinical Coordinator. The responsibility for the selection of the award will be with the Faculty, Clinical Education Committee and the ACCE.
