Student outcomes are assessed using the nationally standardized Clinical Performance Index (CPI). Expectations for students' performance are incrementally higher than on previous clinical experiences in the areas of supervision/guidance, quality, complexity, consistency, and efficiency as defined by the APTA Clinical Performance Instrument. By the end of this course, students should be rated on the CPI at or above intermediate level in all categories.

By the end of this course, students should be rated on the CPI at or above advanced intermediate level in all categories. The student is expected to be a mature, self-directed learner and demonstrate increasingly competent behaviors in professional interaction, communication, consultation, and management. Time management, ethical decision-making, and integration of assessment and goal setting will be further refined.
