ATHLETIC TRAINING MAJORThe Athletic Training Education Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).The program of study is designed to prepare students for NATABOC certification. Students will begin the course of study during their first year at Roanoke College. Entry level courses will be taken and students will begin to gain clinical experience in the athletic training room through directed observation. During the first semester of their sophomore year, students will formally apply for consideration of acceptance to the Athletic Training major. Outlined below are the course requirements, admission procedures for acceptance into the Athletic Training major, and clinical requirements. For a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Athletic Training, the following units of work are required. Five and one-half core units (required of all majors in the department of Education, Health and Human Performance) must be taken. They include Health and Human Performance 201, 202, 221, 223 or equivalent, 301, 402, and 410. Once accepted into the Athletic Training major, six additional units must be taken. They include HHP 307, 308, 413, 414, 415, 416, and four clinical courses: HHP 211, 212, 213 and 214. Note that HHP 223 (or equivalent), 224, 301 and Biology 230 are prerequisite courses for admission to the Athletic Training major. Biology 260 is taken as a prerequisite or co-requisite to all upper level Athletic Training courses. HHP 415, 414, and 307 will be offered every other year starting with the academic year 2001-2002. HHP 308 and 413 will be offered every other year starting with the academic year 2002-2003. HHP 416 will be taken during the senior year. A student’s selection of general education courses should include the following:
*Required of all Roanoke College students To be considered for admission to the Athletic Training major, students must meet selection criteria established by the department of Education, Health and Human Performance. During the first three semesters of study, students will be required to take general education courses and athletic training courses and to accumulate 200 hours of directed observation in the Roanoke College athletic training room or at practices or games. During their third semester, students may apply for admission to the Athletic Training major. Prior to admission, students must also have completed at least 12 units. The following is a list of selection criteria for admission to the Athletic Training major. The student:
Students applying for admission to the Athletic Training program must meet all criteria listed above. Applications for admission will be submitted during the third semester (fall term only) at Roanoke College, with a deadline of October 15. Students will be notified of their status no later than January 1. Enrollment into the program will be limited. Students not accepted into the program initially may re-apply the following year. Transfer students will be considered for admission to the Athletic Training major provided they have completed all prerequisites and have met the criteria listed above. Athletic Training Clinical Requirement The Athletic Training clinical requirement is an integral part of the educational program for athletic trainers. Once admitted into the program students must complete four clinical courses. Each semester students will be assigned to a clinical instructor, and must work with the assigned instructor to complete the clinical proficiencies outlined in the Roanoke College Athletic Training Clinical Manual. In addition, students must obtain 800 hours of field experience under the direct supervision of a certified athletic trainer. The hours must be completed in an athletic training setting and may be divided between high risk sports, low risk sports, and the athletic training room. Two hundred hours of directed observation during the first three semesters and 800 athletic training hours during the remaining five semesters, for a total of 1000 hours, are required to complete the athletic training clinical requirement. Assessment of psychomotor skills related to athletic training will be an ongoing process throughout the four years of study. Students will also gain valuable field experience working with upper extremity sports, lower extremity sports, equipment intensive sports and general medical situations. Physical Education General Education Requirement All students must successfully complete Health and Human Performance 160 (Fitness for Life). In addition, students must take one other lifetime activity course (Health and Human Performance 101-157). Health and Human Performance 160 is a prerequisite for all other activity classes. Varsity athletes may receive competency in one lifetime activity but must successfully complete Health and Human Performance 160 (Fitness for Life). Students will receive competency in a varsity sport after successfully completing the varsity season at Roanoke College. Credit for Health and Human Performance Activities will be in addition to the 33 1 /4 units required for graduation. Enrollment for credit in health and human performance activities is limited to the number required for graduation and cannot exceed two. The College has the capacity of offering adaptive health and human performance to individuals with disabilities who must have a modified program.
