Clinical Educator Award

The member schools in the New England Consortium are extremely grateful for the support and cooperation clinical educators have given to our physical therapy students over the years. They have provided vital training to students so that they may perform safely and effectively in the clinical environment. In appreciation of these efforts, we have instituted two annual awards for clinical educators.

NECCE Clinical Educator of the Year Award

We acknowledge and honor physical therapists who demonstrate exemplary skills and commitment in educating our physical therapy students. Eligible individuals for the Clinical Educator of the Year Award include therapists who have been clinical instructors and/or site coordinators of clinical education (SCCEs). Awardees are formally recognized each year at the Clinical Faculty Institute, receiving a certificate and honorarium to be used toward continued professional clinical development.
