Clinical Education Experiences
The ATEP curriculum includes a wide variety of clinical experiences to the athletic training student. The student will receive course credit through the Clinical Experience courses (KIN 182, 281, 282, 381, 384). This aspect of the ATEP compliments the didactic education and provides the ATS with the opportunity to learn and perform clinical skills. As part of the ATEP, each student will complete five, semester long clinical rotations. The aim of the ATEP is to provide every student with a supervised experience in a wide variety of settings including: upper extremity (eg baseball), lower extremity (eg track), equipment intensive (eg football), in-season, and out of season sports, and a general medical experience. Most clinical experiences will be made to varsity sports within the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics
at the University of Illinois. Other rotations at area high schools and rehabilitation clinics may be included as they become available. The opportunity to observe surgery, participate in athlete rehabilitation and in cutting edge sports medicine research is also provided. There may be some costs incurred by the student related to clinical activity.
