Clinical Education - Master of Science in Athletic Training
Philosophy and Goals of Clinical Education
Clinical education experiences are designed to maximize the student’s abilities to apply newly
acquired clinical examination, assessment, and intervention skills in athletic training practice
settings. The University depends upon the clinical sites to provide carefully supervised learning
experiences through which the student has the opportunity to apply the principles learned in the
classroom. The clinical site is also a highly conducive environment to develop professional
attitudes, values, and ethics; seek practitioner role models; and observe and participate in
administrative, managerial, and clinical research spheres. The problem-solving approach should
form the basis of these experiences.
The student, with the preceptor as a guide, should have the opportunity to gather all relevant
