| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Non-compliance with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) Standard 8A "Minimally, the program employs at least two, preferably three full-time core faculty members dedicated to the PTA program.” With this in mind, it is crucial that we replace the position of the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education in a full time capacity. Maintaining the ability to demonstrate compliance with accreditation standards and adequate and appropriate learning experiences is vital.
Currently the PTA Program's faculty consists of one fulltime employee (the Department Chair), two adjunct faculty and one clinical liaison. |

| Department Goals | Obtain approval of a full time replacement faculty member in the position of the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education and provide additional faculty development as well as hiring of same with this planning and budgeting cycle. |
