History & Major Accomplishments
Initiated at the October 2011 ASAHP annual conference, CETF came together to address what some saw as an impending crisis in clinical education.
Our most recent product is the set of five recommendations. These are action strategies and potential approaches to develop scholarship regarding clinical education are offered in our white paper and manuscript:
Develop meaningful strategic partnerships with healthcare organizations to prioritize evolving needs for current and future healthcare.
Assess and integrate interprofessional competencies throughout the course of study to meet contemporary competencies for efficient and effective interprofessional practice (IPP).
Incorporate effective use of healthcare technology into allied health education and practice.
Advocate within and among healthcare systems, higher education leadership, accreditation and professional organizations, and governmental agencies to foster and support IPP competencies and effective cross-discipline referrals to improve client/patient care.
Drive excellence in clinical education through promotion of research and scholarly activity.
These five recommendations will serve as our strategic goals for our 2021-2022 projects.
