The Wright State University's College of Education and Health Services (CEHS) is in the process of proposing a new master’s degree program in athletic training (AT). As a result, the athletic training program is no longer accepting applications for undergraduate admission. The initial class is anticipated to begin in the Summer of 2020 culminating in a Master’s of Science degree in Athletic Training (MSAT) as specified by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). In 2015, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Strategic Alliance established a professional degree in AT at the master’s level. Institutions wishing to establish an entry-level, graduate AT program (GATP) must do so by 2022. Wright State AT Program was initially accredited in 2002 and has a long history of producing excellent athletic training professionals.

Athletic Training is defined as:

"Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Students who want to become certified athletic trainers must earn a degree from an accredited athletic training curriculum. Accredited programs include formal instruction in areas such as injury/illness prevention, first-aid, and emergency care, assessment of injury/illness, human anatomy and physiology, therapeutic modalities, and nutrition. Classroom learning is enhanced through clinical education experiences." — NATA web site, 2015

Desired Wright State Athletic Training Program Outcome

Mission

The mission of the Wright State University Athletic Training Program is to educate students in the domains of athletic training, preparing them to assume the role of a healthcare professional in a variety of employment settings and to optimize the quality of healthcare provided to patients of all ages and physical capabilities, thereby maximizing their health-related quality of life.

Program goals

Goal 1: AT Program faculty will be highly qualified and professionally diverse role models who exemplify excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service in order to provide comprehensive educational experiences for students.

• 2018-2019 Assessment: Achieved all objectives with a few comments related to specific course content that the ATP faculty are addressing in 2019 – 2020.

Goal 2: Athletic training graduates will be prepared to pass the Board of Certification (BOC) exam and become entry-level athletic trainers.

• 2018-2019 Assessment: Achieved objectives related to preceptor evaluations of the students and exit survey data. In regards to the Alumni Survey, the benchmark was met in 3 areas, just missed the mark in one area (i.e. Therapeutic Interventions 72.75 vs. 80%) and more significantly in another area (i.e. Healthcare Administration & Professional Responsibility 54.5 vs. 80%). ATP faculty are focusing on improvement in these 2 areas in 2019 – 2020. In addition, the program did not meet the benchmark “80% of AT Program graduates will pass the BOC on the first attempt.” This year 11/17 (65%) of the 2018 – 2019 graduates passed on the first attempt. However, upon re-examination, 2 additional students passed the BOC. The remaining 4 students will not be retaking the exam until October (different assessment year). The ATP faculty have met and developed an action plan to address this issue and increase the 2019 – 2020 first time pass rate.

Goal 3: AT Program preceptors will be highly qualified professional role models who exemplify excellence in clinical practice.

• 2018-2019 Assessment: Achieved all objectives.

Goal 4: The AT Program will provide opportunities for high-quality clinical education at diverse, safe, and professional affiliated sites.

• 2018-2019 Assessment: Achieved all objectives.

Goal 5: Athletic training students will participate in activities that will contribute to their professional development and the advancement of the field of athletic training.

• 2018-2019 Assessment: Achieved all objectives.
