• Meet other clinical coordinators;
• Explore the clinical coordinator’s “role;”
• Expand their networking, communication, and administrative skills;
• Understand and discuss timely issues, such as federal and state; rules/regulations, documentation concerns, and technology in the clinical year;
• Wrestle with thorny problems, for example, competing for/sharing, clinical sites, dealing with difficult students, and avoiding burnout;
• Learn how other programs have dealt with learning objectives, testing, and other types of evaluations; the expanded use of PDAs; international experiences; developing and nurturing sites; and job development.

Early registration is encouraged — limited seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 30 participants. The cost of this workshop is $375 (to be submitted ONLY upon notification of acceptance). Registration fee includes two breakfasts and two snacks. To take part in this workshop you must
