Nominees must be physical therapists who have been actively engaged in clinical teaching of physical therapist students (entry or advanced level) or physical therapist assistant students for at least five years.

A letter of nomination that specifically focuses on the strengths of the nominee in relation to the award criteria is required. Two letters of support from the following must also be submitted: a physical therapist colleague from the nominee's clinical center or from an affiliating physical therapy education program, and a current or former student who is representative of an academic level of clinical teaching in which the nominee has been engaged and whose clinical education experience with the nominee has been full time for a period of at least three weeks.
