The CCIP Level 2 course both applies and goes beyond the concepts of the structured and effective learning environment from CCIP Level 1 to allow participants to further develop their clinical teaching skills and to construct a clinical curriculum for their clinical education program/facility. The program’s unique philosophy and design will enable clinical educators to achieve the best outcomes for student learning.
