Clinical Instruction Plan

The CAATE expects each ATEP curriculum to require Athletic Training Students to enroll in a minimum of two consecutive years (four consecutive semesters) of clinical experience (clinical practicum courses). Some psychomotor competencies and most clinical proficiencies are assessed in the clinical practicum and clinical practicum seminar courses.

The clinical practicum sequence is set up to provide appropriate clinical experiences in the clinical setting, as well as traditional high school and collegiate athletic training environments.
