News, Events & AnnouncementsAugust 13, 2008Advanced CI Credential CourseWe’re excited to be co-sponsoring (with Onondaga Community College) the APTA’s Level Two Credentialing course for CIs on September 12 and September 13, 2008. Deadline for sign-up is August 21, 2008.This is the first time the Level Two course is being offered to CIs in New York state, outside of members of the Clinical ed consortium...so folks are relatively unfamiliar with its content. Unlike the level one course, the emphasis on the level two course is on content linked to current practice (EBP, professionalism, patient-client mgmt. model) and to teaching strategies for application in the clinic.
