Clinical Education
Clinical Education is an important part of the Athletic Training curriculum. It is the time for students to apply and expand the knowledge and skills they have learned in class. Clinical education represents the time when Athletic Training students will acquire, practice, and be evaluated on clinical proficiencies. Formal evaluation of the application and integration of clinical proficiencies are completed by a preceptor who also directly supervises the students. Clinical education occurs in a minimum period of two academic years (5 semesters) and is associated with course credit.
