Athletic Training - Hope College

Athletic Training from Hope College is a Campus Bachelor Physical Therapy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Athletic Training students in CAATE-accredited athletic training programs are required to master the competencies in athletic training (comprised of knowledge, skill, and affective [values] competencies). They are also required to master the list of clinical proficiencies promulgated by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The athletic training practicum program (KIN 198-498) employs the competency module sequence of Knight / Brumels in Developing Clinical Proficiency in Athletic Training: A Modular Approach to help students master the required clinical proficiencies. The terms ?competency? and ?clinical proficiency? are sometimes used interchangeably in our program, although they have specific meanings and implications for our program's accreditation. Nonetheless, this modular program covers every required clinical proficiency, while the other courses in the athletic training major cover every required competency. Use the following chart to help guide your mastery of athletic training clinical skills. Please note that some of the modules are partially fulfilled in one semester and completed in another. Some modules are taught and evaluated together. Although you will be expected to master each odule no later than the end of the semester in which it is assigned, YOU MAY WISH TO ATTEMPT SOME MODULES EARLY. The important thing is that you plan to work toward a new module at all times. If you have completed a semester's work early, begin on the next semester's list of modules. Also note that many of the modules have been modified. Accomplishing these modules will take planning and plenty of persistence. Your athletic training practicum instructor will provide you with instruction in each of the clinical proficiencies contained in these modules during your weekly practicum. You will have homework to accomplish for most of these modules. Use the time you spend in the athletic training room and other clinical settings to work on your mastery of these modules. Your instructor will provide you with a schedule for completing each module. Be sure to stick to this schedule. Each module will be accompanied by an evaluation, usually in the form of an oral or practical examination. View more details on Hope College .
