Completing the APTA Clinical Site Profiles

As a student, when you are assigned an evaluation that has been opened by your ACCE/DCE, you will have access to complete the APTA Clinical Site Profiles for that site. Before you fill out the APTA Clinical Site Profiles, contact the SCCE to verify what information, if any, needs updating. If you should have access to the APTA Clinical Site Profiles and do not, contact the SCCE to update the Access Permissions.

Your access terminates once you sign off on your Final APTA Clinical Performance Instruments, so make sure to complete your APTA Clinical Site Profiles edits prior to signing off on your Final APTA Clinical Performance Instruments. To complete the APTA Clinical Site Profiles:

1. Log in and go to My CSIFs on the APTA Clinical Performance Instruments homepage.
2. Under MY CSIFs, click on the name of your clinical site.
3. Click the 20XX APTA Clinical Site Profile Surveys tab at the top of the page.
4. On the Current Site Surveys page, click the Select a Site drop-down and choose your clinical site.
5. To begin working on the APTA Clinical Site Profiles, click Start New Site Survey. If the APTA Clinical Site Profiles has already been started by the SCCE, this step will not be necessary.
6. Click one of the topic names with a red X to access the sections that need to be completed, or click directly on one of the sections to edit it. 
7. In the Action column, click Edit Now to enter or revise information associated with a particular section. If you click directly on a section in the previous step, that section is editable immediately.
8. To complete the APTA Clinical Site Profiles, respond to the appropriate fields. Note that APTA Clinical Site Profiles use an auto-save feature. As you complete the form, a spinning icon indicates that the information in the associated field is being saved. Once it is saved, a green checkmark appears to confirm the save.
   
   
9. At the end of each section, click This section has been completed. If this box is not checked, the section is considered In Progress. After the box is checked, the red X for that section changes to a green checkmark.
10. After clicking Save for a section, your progress is saved and the Last Update column changes to the date and time of your most recent save.
11. Continue navigating to the other topic tabs to complete the entire APTA Clinical Site Profiles.
12. When you've completed the entire APTA Clinical Site Profiles, or the sections you were requested to edit, click the APTA Clinical Performance Instruments logo at the top left of the page, then click the Home tab.
13. In the My CSIFs area, click Submit under the Submit CSIF for SCCE Review column.
14. An email notification is automatically sent to you, your ACCE/DCE, and SCCE, informing all parties that you have finished your site’s APTA Clinical Site Profiles and your SCCE’s review/verification is required.
15. After clicking Submit, a Re-Submit link appears along with the date and time of your previous submission.
16. In your Sites tab in APTA Clinical Performance Instruments, the CSIF Completion Status column displays the appropriate APTA Clinical Site Profiles status (e.g., Unstarted, Started, Key Fields Complete, Full Complete) based on the progress for all of the sites that are affiliated with your academic program.
17. In the CSIF Completion Status column, a Pending Verification message appears only when the APTA Clinical Site Profiles has been edited by a student and the SCCE still needs to review those edits. Once the edits are reviewed by the SCCE, the Pending Verification icon disappears.
18. When you're done, click Log Out at the top right to exit the site.
