CAPTE Accreditation Once every 10 years, our physical therapy program undergoes an intense accreditation process through the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). We were last evaluated in 2012; our next visit will be in July 2023, one year late due to the pandemic. The faculty is charged with writing a comprehensive self-study that covers eight standards: 1. Graduate Achievement of our Program Outcomes 2. Assessment and Planning 3. Integrity of our Operations 4. Program Faculty 5. Admissions 6. Curriculum Plan 7. Curriculum 8. Resources Faculty assignments for leadership in writing our evidence statements were made and the writing of this document is underway, even though we are more than a year away from the site visit. Although this is an arduous process, it is also valuable for determining our program quality. We will be contacting students, alumni, adjunct faculty, employers, advisory committee members, and any other constituents we may need to share views of our program with our onsite visitors during their visit, July 25-27, 2023. We will be contacting our constituents in about a year from now to set up these meetings, which may be in person or held virtually. Physical Therapy Newsletter 2022 | 2
