Standard Three: Faculty and Staff

3.3 The sponsoring institution and program assure the responsibilities of faculty
and clinical staff are delineated and performed.

Explanation:

Faculty and clinical staff responsibilities must be clearly delineated and support the program’s mission.
The program director and clinical coordinator may have other responsibilities as defined by the
sponsoring institution; however, these added responsibilities must not compromise the ability, or the
time allocated, to perform the responsibilities identified in this objective. For all circumstances when a
program director’s and/or clinical coordinator’s appointment is less than 12 months and students are
enrolled in didactic and/or clinical courses, the program director and/or clinical coordinator must assure
that all program responsibilities are fulfilled.

Required Program Response:

• Describe how the delegation of responsibilities occurs to assure continuous coverage of program
responsibilities, if appropriate.
• Provide documentation that faculty and clinical staff positions are clearly delineated.
• Provide assurance that faculty responsibilities are fulfilled throughout the year.
