Clinical Assessment (CCA)

What does the CCA involve?

The CCA evaluates your clinical reasoning skills and knowledge.

• It focuses on enhancing your clinical reasoning in the neuromusculoskeletal assessment and treatment of the head, face, and neck regions.
• You will be individually assessed on your ability to evaluate and treat patients with complex head, neck, or facial pain.

What steps are involved?

You can choose between two options for completing the CCA:

Option 1: Submit a Recorded Assessment

• Record your subjective and objective assessment, as well as a trial treatment of your patient, in your own clinical setting.
• Demonstrate your clinical reasoning process and the steps you take during treatment.
• Fill out the Clinical Reasoning Form (CRF), which includes reflective questions to summarize your approach to the patient.
• Submit your video and CRF to a CRAFTA® teacher for review.

Option 2: Face-to-Face Assessment

• Schedule an in-person CCA session with a CRAFTA® teacher.
• Bring your own patient or a demo patient to the session.
• Follow the same steps as in Option 1.

Course Content / Schedule

What happens during the CCA appointment?

• The CRF and video will be discussed in a 60-90-minute virtual or in-person appointment.
• Together with the CRAFTA® teacher, you will review your patient study, treatment strategies, and CRF responses.

Within 7 days after the CCA, you will receive your final evaluation, including feedback and the points earned for your portfolio.
