Assessment of the Athletic Training Program
Athletic Training Education and Assessment is based on the Athletic Training Educational Competencies as
required by CAATE (Commission on
Accreditation of Athletic Training Education). The information in
the document is written
from the Board of Certification Role Delineation Study. The purpose of this study is to define the
role and functions Certified Athletic Trainers' are fulfilling within
the ever-changing medical community and profession. Due to the
interlacing of the BOC and the NATA's Education Council (Author of
the Athletic Training Educational Competencies) and the CAATE accreditation requirement, the curriculum, educational content
areas, goals and objectives are automatically renewed to meet the needs
of future Athletic Training allied health professionals.
There are competencies (Educational Objectives) that are distributed throughout the athletic training curriculum at Southwest Baptist University. These competencies/objectives are separated into three basic categories; Cognitive, Proficiency and Clinical Proficiency. The program is required to utilize the "Learning Over Time" educational model. The following links demonstrates the specific matrix as applied to Southwest Baptist University's Department of Athletic Training.
