Resources for Our Clinical Partners

General Information

We ask that clinics review/update their information in Exxat annually.
This is UCSF/SFSU's Certificate of Liability Insurance for the current year.
Clinics will use the Part-time Integrated Clinical Experience Evaluation Tool to evaluate students at the end of their part-time integrated clinical experience (ICE).
The Student Evaluation of Clinical Experience & Instruction Form is completed by students in EXXAT and shared with their respective sites and CIs.
UCSF-SFSU 2026 Commitment Agreement form is used to indicate available slots for our students in the upcoming calendar year.

Northern California Clinical Education Consortium (NCCEC) is an organization with representatives from all Northern California physical therapist and physical therapist assistant education programs and clinical sites.
Clinical Instructors (CIs) can become credentialed through the Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP). This 2-day course is composed of interactive didactic education sessions followed by an assessment and is frequently offered through APTA, CPTA, and our Northern California Clinical Education Consortium. California licensed PTs who serve as CIs may collect one hour for each week of full-time clinical experience with a student (California Code of Regulations).
A reference manual for CIs & SCCEs is available from the APTA.
UCSF/SFSU uses the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument (PT CPI) to evaluate students in each full-time clinical experience. If a CI has not used this tool before, they MUST complete an online training course through the APTA Learning Center. Once a CI has completed this training, they may access a web version of this tool.
California Physical Therapy Association (CPTA) website has information regarding continuing education opportunities, legislative updates, and CPTA-sponsored CI credentialing programs.
The APTA Academy of Education webite has additional resources for clinical educators.
