AT 695 Clinical Immersion in Athletic Training

This course is designed for the Level 3 Athletic Training student to get a significant amount of clinical experience and aid in the transition to practice as a clinical entry level athletic trainer. Students will apply for various opportunities within the Augustana University Athletic Training Department and will be fully immersed in all aspects of the profession of athletic training. Students will get the opportunity to not only do pre-practice/event clinical experiences but also be involved with morning rehabilitations and administrative tasks of the athletic trainer. Students must get 40 hours of clinical per credit for a total of 16 credits during their final year in the athletic training program. In addition, students will be required to keep a journal and meet regularly with their clinical preceptor and the clinical education coordinator. Students may elect to begin these clinical hours in the summer or interim prior to the semester they are registered for with permission from the Athletic Training Program Clinical Coordinator.
