Athletic Training is a specialized field of sports medicine and is practiced by health care professionals who work with physicians. Athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and intervention of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions involving and disabilities. It provides a major link between the sports program and the medical community. The Mission of the athletic training program is threefold. First is to develop the student into an educated and experienced professional in the field of athletic training. The program will prepare the student for the BOC certification examination as an athletic trainer and for entry into health-related graduate programs. The program will provide through a liberal arts-based education, the didactic and clinical experiences required, and set forth by CAATE in the “Essentials and Guidelines for an Accredited Program for the Athletic Trainer.” The second is to provide the highest quality in health care involving prevention, recognition, management, referral, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for the student-athletes participating in CMU’s intercollegiate athletic programs. Third, is to develop and encourage a philosophy of sport that places a high value on character, health, and wellness. |
