Clinical Assignments |

Clinical assignments occur
as a part of an overall scheme of clinical education where the practicum
courses are used to organize the objectives and content of any given
clinical assignment. The overall scheme of clinical
assignments starts with a skill development period of 8 weeks. During
that 8 weeks and in addition to the development of basic skills each
student is assigned to two occasions at one of the two high schools and
two days per week for three weeks at each of the clinical facilities on
campus. The second
eight weeks of the fall semester and the spring semester comprise three
eight-week assignments where students are randomly assigned to each
clinical facility, except the Jacobson Building.
During the spring of the first year, students report preferences for a
single sport experience for the second clinical year as well as which
semester they wish to be assigned with the football staff (Jabcobson).
Some students will have collision and equipment intensive sport
experience at the high schools, but everyone will have either fall or
spring collision and equipment intensive sport experiences with Football
staff and then one
other staff assignment where they are in a facility with a variety of
sports for upper extremity and lower extremity sports.
During November each year, second-year students are asked for
their third year staff preferences and for their self-assessment of
skills. These are discussed with staff and faculty
in December to determine the needs of the student and practicum assignments for
the third year.
Students keep daily logs of
clinical experiences. Portfolios that summarize these experiences are
reviewed regularly. The time period over
which experiences are accumulated also are logged by day and verified by
the Program Director through records provided each month by the student.
The regular assessment of practicum hours allows the Program Director,
supervisors, and advisors, to direct and consult with students at
appropriate early intervention times. Attendance is
required for practicum. Students are expected to
contact practicum supervisors one week prior to the beginning of their
assignment for details about orientation. In general, students are
expected to arrange their academic schedule to allow for pre-practice
through post-practice activities on a regular daily basis. First year
students may arrange a consistent 2 hour period each day of the school
week that fits within a 1-6 pm time frame. Second year students
allow for home competition schedules and weekend practices as possible
in addition to daily weekly practice schedules for an average three
hours per day. Third year students make every attempt to organize
their practicum schedule to encompass the same athletic training health
care coverage as their assigned mentor for a single team assignment for
about four hours per day average. Vacation periods, time-off, absence,
late arrival, and sickness is arranged with the clinical supervisor.
The Athletic Training Education Program has been designed to ensure
that graduates are properly prepared for their role in providing health
care for the the physically active person at all levels of competition and other settings where
entry-level athletic trainers are employed. The obligations assumed by
those who are to be entrusted with the care of the injured athlete or
physically active person transcend mere expertise in their chosen field.
Therefore, in addition to academic competence, students in the Athletic
Training Education Program are expected to possess and demonstrate those
qualities of professional conduct including integrity, morality,
discipline, and compassion, which in essence reflect their suitability
to assume this trust.
