A Guide to Entrustment for Physical Therapy Educators: Elevating Clinical Competence

This EduGraphic introduces a practical framework for physical therapy educators to apply entrustment principles in practice-based learning. Drawing from medical education literature on competency-based education and entrustable professional activities, this EduGraphic guide emphasizes the affective domain and its integration with cognitive and psychomotor domains to optimally support learner development and clinical competence for effective physical therapy practice. It adapts the “A RICH” features of medical education to enhance physical therapy educational practices. This EduGraphic serves as a visual and conceptual aid to elevate clinical teaching practices and align them with contemporary competency-based education models while working toward establishing shared language and relevance in physical therapy education for learners and educators.
