How to become a clinical instructor?
Career: Clinical Instructor
To become a clinical instructor, you must have at least one year of clinical experience as a physical therapist (PT), and a current PT or PT assistant license. Complete a clinical instructor credentialing course; the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) offers a Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) that earns you a Credentialed Clinical Instructor certificate and counts towards continuing education units with most state licensing boards. In addition to helping students, becoming a clinical instructor can advance your career to management positions.
