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 healthcare 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. 2019–20 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 151 Department of Kinesiology and Allied Health Athletic Training Mission Statement
