Lindenwood University offers a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. Lindenwood University’s Athletic Training Program (ATP) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

This program is designed to prepare athletic training students to succeed on the Board of Certification (BOC) examination and become a certified athletic trainer (ATC). The student must complete the required coursework and accumulate 1,155 clinical experience hours with an ATC and/or qualified preceptor. During the students’ coursework and clinical rotations, they will successfully complete the National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s Educational Competencies and Clinical Proficiencies.

Students enrolled in the Athletic Training Program will have their clinical skills continually evaluated throughout the academic program. Clinical skills will be routinely evaluated through simulated and integrated opportunities in lab coursework, as well as Clinical Experience courses. Prior to being approved to take the BOC examination, students must successfully complete (75% score or higher) a comprehensive oral practical examination during their senior year focused on evaluating their clinical skills in injury prevention, recognition, evaluation, and rehabilitation. Students achieving a passing score will be approved by the Program Director to sit for the Board of Certification exam. Students will be scheduled for this senior practical prior to their first available scheduling period for the BOC. Additional test opportunities for students failing to achieve a passing grade on their first attempt will be offered every six to eight weeks. Lindenwood University’s current three-year aggregate BOC first time pass rate is 85%.

The ATP at Lindenwood University is a competitive program requiring an application and interview for new applicants during the spring semester. Transfer students are accepted into the program but they must complete (or be in the process of completing) all entrance requirements to apply. Also, transfer students must complete an interview with the athletic training faculty and staff prior to beginning the fall semester. Once accepted into the program, transfer students will have a minimum of six semesters before

graduation. This rigorous and intense program places specific requirements and demands on the students accepted in the program. All students are required to have a physical exam prior to admittance, and verify they understand and meet the technical standards or believe that, with certain accommodation, they can meet the standards to be accepted into the ATP.

Once accepted, the athletic training students will assist in practice, game and athletic training room coverage. As a sophomore, junior, and senior, the athletic training students will be assigned to work with a specific team and must remain dedicated to the athletic training clinical schedule provided by the student’s supervising athletic trainer. Students may also have the opportunity to travel to events with teams and assist the supervising certified athletic trainer. With over fifty athletic programs, athletic training students obtain extensive experience with various sports including men’s & women’s, non-contact & equipment intensive, and individual & team sports. Also, as a senior, the athletic training students will be placed in three off-campus internships in various athletic trainings settings, such as a physical therapy clinic, physician’s office, and high school. Transportation and expenses associated with all internships will be the responsibility of the student.

CAATE: Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education is the organization that approves

all entry-level athletic training educational programs in the country.

Educational Competencies: The education content required of entry–level athletic training programs.

These competencies should be used to develop the curriculum and educational experiences of students enrolled in a CAATE-accredited entry–level athletic training programs.

Clinical Education: Clinical education represents the athletic training students’ formal acquisition,

development, and overall evaluation of the entry-level Athletic Training Clinical Proficiencies. This is accomplished through classroom, laboratory, and clinical education experiences under the direct supervision of a preceptor. Related to this education is clinical experience, in which students have the opportunity to develop his/her clinical proficiencies under the supervision of an approved preceptor. Clinical education shall occur during a minimum period of three academic years (6 semesters) and are associated with course credit. Courses shall include educational objectives and special clinical proficiency outcomes that can be documented over time.

Clinical Settings: A clinical setting is a clinical environment where healthcare services are provided.

Clinical settings include, but are not limited to, facilities such as the athletic training rooms, athletic field practices, high schools, physical therapy clinics, and athletic enhancement facilities. An approved preceptor must be on-site at all clinical settings.

Clinical Experiences: Clinical experiences provide an opportunity for integration of psychomotor,

cognitive and affective skills, as well as clinical proficiencies with the context of direct patient/athlete care. A preceptor must directly supervise formal clinical experiences.

Clinical Experience Progression:

The observation student is first exposed to his/her clinical responsibilities in Clinical Experience I. The course requires 165 hours of field experience, which includes athletic training

observation, as well as assisting with hydration, facility maintenance, practice setup and breakdown. The clinical experiences involve assisting at games, practices, and within the athletic training rooms. There are no clinical proficiencies required in this course.

Introduction to Athletic Training Lab is the athletic training student’s (ATS’s) first course in which the completion of clinical proficiencies is required for acceptance into the athletic training education program. Students must pass the lab and complete his/her Clinical Experience I to be considered as a candidate for acceptance into the Athletic Training Program.

First year ATS’s are required to complete Assessment of Athletic Injuries to the Lower Body Lab (Fall Semester) and Clinical Experience II. Clinical Experience III is taken in the spring semester while the students are assigned to a clinical rotation emphasizing lower body

injuries. The first year ATS will also be assigned to Spring Football in addition to his/her other responsibilities in the spring semester. This will give the students experience needed to advance

(15)

to Football Experience in the fall semester of his/her second year in the program. The first year ATS will also complete Assessment of Athletic Injuries to the Upper Body Lab in the spring semester. This lab must be complete to advance to Clinical Experience IV. If the lab and/or Clinical Experience III are not completed, the ATS is not allowed to enroll in Football Experience and Clinical Experience IV.

Second year ATS’s will complete Clinical Experience IV and Football Experience in the fall semester. They will also enroll in Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation Lab. During the spring semester, ATS’s will need to complete Clinical Experience V.

Third year ATS’s will complete Clinical Experience VI and Athletic Training Integrating Experience. The Integrating Experience class will provide the student with the opportunity to further develop as a young professional while observing, learning, and implementing their skills and knowledge at various sites affiliated with the university. Typically, students will be selected for three different off-campus internships. These affiliated sites include local high schools, physical therapy clinics, general medical offices, orthopedic offices, semi-professional sports teams, and professional sports teams. Decisions for internship placement will be based on student performance and future goals. Additional internships sought by students may be approved pending an evaluation of the site by the Program Director and Clinical Education Coordinator.

During the fall semester of their third year, the ATS will also be eligible to sit for his/her Senior Oral Practical Exam. The student will not be allowed to sit for the BOC certification exam until they have passed the Senior Oral Practical Exam with a 75% average. Students are also required to take AT 39802 (ACES/BOC Preparation Course) during the January term of their senior year.

Preamble

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association Code of Ethics states the principles of ethical behavior that should be followed in the practice of athletic training. It is intended to establish and maintain high standards and professionalism for the athletic training profession.

The principles do not cover every situation encountered by the practicing athletic trainer, but are representative of the spirit with which athletic trainers should make decisions. The principles are written generally; the circumstances of a situation will determine the

interpretation and application of a given principle and of the Code as a whole. When a conflict exists between the Code and the law, the law prevails.

Principle 1:

Members shall respect the rights, welfare and dignity of all individuals. 1.1 Members shall not discriminate against any legally protected class. 1.2 Members shall be committed to providing competent care.

1.3 Members shall preserve the confidentiality of privileged information and shall not release such information to a third party not involved in the patient's care unless the person consents to such release or release is permitted or required by law.

Principle 2:

Members shall comply with the laws and regulations governing the practice of athletic training.

2.1 Members shall comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws and institutional guidelines.

2.2 Members shall be familiar with and abide by all National Athletic Trainers’ Association standards, rules and regulations.

(17)

2.3 Members shall report illegal or unethical practices related to athletic training to the appropriate person or authority.

2.4 Members shall avoid substance abuse and, when necessary, seek rehabilitation for chemical dependency.

Principle 3:

Members shall maintain and promote high standards in their provision of services.

3.1 Members shall not misrepresent in any manner, either directly or indirectly, their skills, training, professional credentials, identity or services.

3.2 Members shall provide only those services for which they are qualified through education or experience and which are allowed by their practice acts and other pertinent regulation. 3.3 Members shall provide services, make referrals, and seek compensation only for those services that are necessary.

3.4 Members shall recognize the need for continuing education and participate in educational activities that enhance their skills and knowledge.

3.5 Members shall educate those whom they supervise in the practice of athletic training about the Code of Ethics and stress the importance of adherence.

3.6 Members who are researchers or educators should maintain and promote ethical conduct in research and educational activities.

Principle 4:

Members shall not engage in conduct that could be construed as a conflict of interest or that reflects negatively on the profession.

4.1 Members should conduct themselves personally and professionally in a manner that does not compromise their professional responsibilities or the practice of athletic training.

4.2 National Athletic Trainers’ Association current or past volunteer leaders shall not use the NATA logo in the endorsement of products or services or exploit their affiliation with the NATA in a manner that reflects badly upon the profession.

4.3 Members shall not place financial gain above the patient‘s welfare and shall not participate in any arrangement that exploits the patient.

(18)

4.4 Members shall not, through direct or indirect means, use information obtained in the course of the practice of athletic training to try to influence the score or outcome of an athletic event, or attempt to induce financial gain through gambling.

Reporting of Ethics Violations

Anyone having information regarding allegations of ethical violations, and wishing to supply such information to NATA, shall supply this information, with as much specificity and documentation as possible, to NATA's Executive Director or Chair of the Ethics Committee. Information need not be supplied in writing, and the reporting individual need not identify him or herself. Information, however, that is too vague, cannot be substantiated without the

assistance of the reporting person, or information where, in the opinion of the NATA

Executive Director or Ethics Chair, there is no need for anonymity for the reporting individual will not be forwarded for action by the committee. An individual may report information on the condition that the individual's name or certain other facts be kept confidential. NATA may proceed with an investigation subject to such a condition; however, NATA must inform the reporting individual that at some point in the investigation NATA may determine that it cannot proceed further without disclosing some of the confidential information, either to the applicant or member under investigation or to some other party. A reporting individual, upon receiving this information from NATA, may decide whether or not to allow the information to be revealed. If the reporting individual decides that the necessary information must remain

confidential, NATA may be required to close the unfinished investigation for lack of necessary information. Individuals are strongly encouraged to provide relevant information, with as much detail as possible, in writing to:

Grade Point Average (G.P.A.)

Athletic training students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 for all courses and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 for all curriculum courses

Athletic Training Curriculum Course Performance

No grade of D or F will be accepted in any athletic training curriculum course. Students who receive

a D or F in an athletic training curriculum course will need to retake the course before progressing with further athletic training curriculum courses. Disciplinary action will result if a student receives more than one deficient grade in his/her athletic training curriculum courses in one semester.

Athletic Training Course Progression

Students who receive a deficient grade, D or F, in any athletic training curriculum class will need to retake the class during the next semester the course is offered. Disciplinary action will result if the student is unable to receive a satisfactory grade on the second attempt.

Clinical Experience Course Performance

Athletic training students must complete a minimum number of hours as identified in the Clinical Experience courses syllabi. Students will receive a grade for the Clinical Experience class and will also receive personal performance evaluations from the supervising certified athletic trainer. If more than 1/3 of the evaluation scores for sections I-III are less than ‘3’, a mandatory conference will be scheduled with the Program Director and Clinical Education Coordinator at which time the student will be placed on probation. Additionally, for the Level-Dependent sections of the evaluation form, students who score less than ‘3’ on more than 1/3 of the evaluation scores will also be placed on probation.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Certification

Athletic training students are required to maintain a current CPR certification. Students will have the opportunity to become recertified in CPR every two years with dates and times designated by the Athletic Training Faculty.

Academic Probation

An athletic training student will be placed on probation for not meeting any of the retention criteria listed above. The student will be allowed to continue the normal progression of classroom and clinical education with no restrictions.

*Updated Information (January 2015): Students currently in the program were admitted with standards requiring a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher. The new standards will not be immediately required for students already admitted into the program. However, an academic intervention program will be

implemented for currently admitted students if their cumulative GPA for curriculum courses is, or becomes, lower than a 3.0. Students will be required to meet with an assigned preceptor for 2 hours each week until the cumulative GPA for curriculum classes reaches 3.0. Preceptors will be advised on the student’s previous academic performance, and several group discussions will be scheduled to create a specific plan to provide assistance for the student’s current courses while simultaneously addressing deficient knowledge areas identified in previous courses.

Academic Suspension

Following a semester of academic probation, if the athletic training student again fails to meet all the retention criteria the student will be placed on suspension. The student will not be allowed to enroll in any new athletic training classes and classroom progression will cease. The athletic training student may retake any athletic training class in which he/she received a D or F. The student will not be able to

continue their formal clinical rotations; however, they may still perform restricted athletic training duties if assigned to the athletic training department for Work and Learn. To regain normal student status in the Athletic Training Program, the athletic training student must meet all the retention criteria listed above and reapply for admittance into the Athletic Training Program.

Academic Expulsion

After two semesters of suspension status, the athletic training student will be expelled from the Athletic Training Program.
