MSAT Clinical Overview
MSAT Clinical Overview
The Master of Science in Athletic Training program contains 53 weeks of diverse clinical experiences with varied patient populations. During the program, students will complete over 1,200 progressively intensive clinical contact hours. All clinical rotations and hours are supervised by an experienced preceptor who will foster critical thinking and facilitate skill development through guided and autonomous learning opportunities. Over the course of two years, students can engage in experiences within the private, public, or preparatory pediatric setting, Division I, II, or III collegiate setting, orthopedic medicine, general medicine, and other areas specific to each student’s career goals. Each clinical experience is specifically structured to provide students with immense opportunity to practically apply the foundational knowledge and theoretical underpinnings learned while in the classroom to concrete encounters for the purpose of creating new knowledge.
Clinical Education Requirements
To ensure the health and safety of each student and patient, once accepted or matriculated into the MSAT program, students are required to demonstrate that all immunizations have been completed and are current. Other clinical education requirements may include background checks, fingerprints, and possibly drug testing.
Throughout the program, students will experience athletic training in a variety of settings. All students must have or arrange transportation to any off campus clinical sites. Site locations and distances vary. Students are responsible for all associated travel costs and are encouraged to carpool when clinical schedules are alike.
