        Purpose: Many Canadian physical therapy education programs use the 1997 version of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument (PT-CPI) to evaluate students in their clinical placements. Recent evidence that clinical instructors (CIs) are unsatisfied with the PT-CPI, however, suggests a need to develop a new assessment tool. The purpose of this study was to gather Canadian CIs' perspectives on rating scales, preferred training methods, and format for future tool development. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study involved five focus groups from across Canada. English-speaking CIs who had supervised at least one Canadian student in clinical practice were eligible for the study. Results: Participants identified concerns with the PT-CPI and indicated a preference for (1) more objective rating scales with clearly defined anchors, (2) both in-person and online training methods for CIs, and (3) a tool that could be completed and reviewed on paper or online. Conclusions: CIs affirmed the need to develop a new assessment tool. Results of the study will be used to inform the development of a new assessment tool to better evaluate Canadian physical therapy students' performance in the clinical setting.
        Objectif: Beaucoup de programmes canadiens d'éducation en physiothérapie utilisent la version 1997 de l'Instrument d'évaluation du rendement clinique des physiothérapeutes (ERC-PT) pour évaluer les étudiants au cours de leurs stages cliniques. Des données récentes selon lesquelles les enseignants cliniques (EC) sont insatisfaits de l'ERC-PT indiquent toutefois qu'il faut créer un nouvel outil d'évaluation. Cette étude visait à réunir les points de vue des EC du Canada au sujet des échelles d'évaluation, des méthodes de formation privilégiées et du format d'élaboration d'outils futurs. Méthodes: Cette étude descriptive qualitative a mis à contribution cinq groupes de discussion de toutes les régions du Canada. Les EC anglophones qui avaient supervisé au moins un étudiant canadien en pratique clinique étaient admissibles à l'étude. Résultats: Les participants ont dégagé des préoccupations au sujet de l'ERC-PT et indiqué une préférence pour (1) des échelles d'évaluation plus objectives comportant des points de comparaison définis clairement, (2) des méthodes de formation en personne et en ligne pour les EC et (3) un outil qu'il serait possible de remplir et d'évaluer sur papier ou en ligne. Conclusions: Les EC ont affirmé qu'il fallait mettre au point un nouvel outil d'évaluation. Les résultats de l'étude serviront à éclairer l'élaboration d'un nouvel outil d'évaluation afin de mieux évaluer le rendement des étudiants en physiothérapie du Canada en contexte clinique.
