Description:

The first year (second semester) athletic training student will rotate through two eight-week clinical rotations. These rotations will be either on campus at Upper Iowa University or off campus at affiliated clinical sites. During each of these rotations, the student will be assigned to an Approved Clinical Instructor (ACI) who will supervise the student during their "Field Experience." A minimum accumulation of 120 clinical hours will be required during the semester. However, many rotations may require additional hours beyond the minimum accumulation. Students are expected to adhere to the demands of each rotation regarding clinical hours. This course provides the student with an opportunity to involve a variety of performance competencies and clinical proficiencies as defined by the NATA into a clinical environment. These skills are demonstrated in class and will be tested by the instructor or ACI. The Clinical Work Practicum has two components: Clinical experience (field experience) in a setting(s) assigned by the instructor and a formal tri-weekly seminar held in a classroom setting. Students shall perform athletic training duties in their assigned clinical settings commensurate with their level of experience and competence. Prerequisites: HPER 215 and enrolled in HPER 332 and 333 or special permission by the Program Director of Athletic Training Education.
