Hello PDs.

We are working with our administration in relation to ratio of faculty to students for practical skill application sessions.  Do any of you have specific requirements for ratio of student to faculty for practical skill application?  This would be in class skill demonstration and practice, as well as field application with community collaborators.

We have looked at the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Medicare requirements, AOTA documents, and ACOTE standards in relation to faculty to student ratio and have not located a specific number.  It would be helpful for us, in advocating for faculty with our administrators, to have a specific number.

Appreciate any insight or supporting documents any of you might have.

Thank you.
