Download or read book Clinical Experience s Role in Professional Socialization as Perceived by Entry level Athletic Trainers written by Susan Welch Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Clinical experiences are integral to the education process in many professions. Professional socialization is one area of students' development enhanced by clinical experience. Professional socialization includes learning in the affective domain by experiencing moral, ethical and legal practice as well as developing confidence in students' clinical practice. This study examined the role of clinical experience for professional socialization in Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) accredited athletic training education programs. This was done by examining entry-level athletic trainers' perceptions of the importance of four common clinical experiences in the development of selected affective domain educational competencies. These experiences were peer practice, approved clinical instructor (ACI) instruction, practice coverage and game coverage. The affective domain competencies were chosen because they included aspects of professional socialization such as role identity and moral ethical and legal practice of athletic training. A quantitative, researcher developed, web based survey was designed and used to collect perception data from newly certified athletic trainers who had graduated from a CAAHEP accredited athletic training education program. While all four common clinical experiences were reported as important to subject mastery of the competencies, ACI instruction and practice coverage were reported to be more important than both peer practice and game coverage. These results are important to athletic training educators as they try to develop the best possible combination of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience to better prepare future generations of confident and successful practicing athletic trainers."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Influences Impacting the Development of Entry level Masters Athletic Training Programs written by Jennifer E. Deranek and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletic training is an allied health profession in which individuals receive education in prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnoses, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation for injuries and medical conditions. Currently, the route for an individual to become a certified athletic trainer is to graduate from an institution accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. Most commonly, entry level education for athletic trainers is gained at the 331 institutions that host a bachelors level professional program. However, there is a recent desire to change the educational requirements and to require a professional masters degree. If the degree change would occur, athletic training would have a stronger alignment with other health care professions and support the increasing knowledge base needed for certified athletic trainers. If a degree change is mandated, there is the potential for significant programmatic changes at the institutions which currently host baccalaureate athletic training programs. Program development is influenced by many factors within the institution and also external factors. The purpose of this research was to examine which of those factors have influenced the development of six current entry level masters athletic training program. Using a multiple case study design, 11 individuals were interviewed on the processes and influences that impacted the creation of the CAATE accredited entry level masters athletic training programs. Although each institution had a unique journey in the development of their professional masters program, the most common influential factors on the development of these programs were institutional support, faculty load and structure, resources, graduate work expectation, and accrediting agencies. This research helps to provide a guiding framework for a substantive degree change and can help institutions navigate through the process of changing degree requirements.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differences in perceptions of professional preparedness and factors influencing professional preparedness among entry-level athletic trainers between graduates of professional bachelor's (PB) and professional master's (PM) degree programs were investigated through a mixed-methods study design. A survey and the option for a follow-up interview was sent to a random sample of 1000 entry-level athletic trainers. After applying inclusion criteria, there was a final N of 56. There were no significant differences in perceptions of professional preparedness between PB and PM graduates in any domain of athletic training. In PB and PM program graduates, perceptions of preparedness were significantly lower in the domain of Healthcare Administration and Professional Responsibility compared to all other domains, the domain of Injury Prevention and Wellness Protection (p=.000), the domain of Examination, Assessment, and Diagnosis (p=.000), the domain of Immediate and Emergency Care (p=.000), and the domain of Therapeutic Intervention (p=.000). Clinical Education was ranked to be the most influential factor to professional preparation among PB and PM program graduates. Results call for increased focus on the domain of Healthcare Administration and Professional responsibility through didactic coursework and clinical experiences.
