LATC Physical Therapist Assistant Info for Clinical Instructors and Center Coordinators
Welcome! This page is designed to provide our affiliating clinical educators with easy access to links, info and forms (see below). Clinical education is essential to the Lake Area Tech PTA program, allowing students the exciting chance to develop their knowledge and skills in real clinical settings. We are grateful to all clinical affiliates who make this possible!
The Lake Area Tech PTA program educates students to practice as “generalists”. Clinical education consists of three separate internships. Clinical sites are intentionally chosen to enhance a student’s patient, professional and interpersonal skills in different settings and with diverse patient populations.
Clinical instructors and center coordinators – if you are unable to find what you need from the resources below, please contact us. Also, take note of our new CI/CCCE Instructor program!
