Athletic Training Mission Statement The mission of the Cedarville University Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is to advance the Kingdom of Christ by preparing entry-level athletic trainers, through diverse learning experiences, to practice competently and professionally throughout the world. This is to be accomplished through an educational program that practices the skills associated with the prevention, diagnosis, and intervention of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions involving impairment, functional limitations, and disabilities. Students will be able to: • Provide quality health care including prevention, diagnosis, and intervention to patients and clients who participate in physical activity. • Utilize therapeutic techniques and equipment safely, appropriately, and effectively. • Instruct patients and clients in areas of prevention, stewardship, and convalescence. • Implement organizational skills to manage an athletic training facility. • Locate, interpret, and implement athletic training research. • Conduct themselves professionally with Christlike characteristics. The athletic training major prepares students for a career as a Certified Athletic Trainer (or ATC), which is the official credential awarded when students successfully pass the certification exam administered by the BOC. Cedarville’s athletic training program meets the requirements set forth by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) and the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Personal Requirements Athletic training requires a significant level of scientific and clinical preparation. Prospective athletic training students are encouraged to take college-preparatory courses in high school, including biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced math. An ACT composite score of 24 (or SAT composite of 1100) or higher is highly recommended. Typically, the student who is interested in athletic training as a potential career has a history of being involved in athletics personally and may even wish to pursue participating in athletics at the collegiate level. Students need to be aware that the (ATEP) depends on the varsity athletic program at Cedarville as well as high schools, colleges, and clinics in the community to provide the primary “laboratory” experiences for the clinical education component of the program. Therefore, attempting to participate in varsity athletics while simultaneously pursuing the athletic training major may prove to be a significant conflict of interest. Students are, however, expected to model appropriate stewardship of their physical bodies by being involved in a consistent program of regular exercise and activity. A biannual one and a half-mile run is used to evaluate the status of the student’s fitness. Program Requirements Admission and Retention Athletic training clinical education is a labor-intensive product to deliver. Because there is a finite number of quality sports medicine opportunities available on campus, the ATEP limits each academic class to no more than 12 students each (i.e., 12 seniors, 12 juniors, and 12 sophomores). There is currently no limit to how many freshmen may declare athletic training as their major, but if more than 12 students desire to continue as athletic training majors beyond the freshman year, the competitive admission process is enforced. Transfer students are considered on an individual basis but are only eligible to be admitted directly into the ATEP if: 1) there is space available in their graduating class Page 112 2013–14 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Department of Kinesiology and Allied Health Athletic Training Mission Statement
