Athletic Training Education
Program
The Oklahoma State University
Athletic Training Education
Program (ATEP) is currently
accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation of Athletic
Training Education (CAATE) . The
major of Athletic Training was
approved by the University in
2001 and is housed in the School
of Applied Health, Exercise and
Psychology. In the spring of
2007, the ATEP received
re-accreditation through 2014. Students entering
the major begin completing
didactic course work while
concurrently gaining valuable
directed observation experience
of various Athletic Training
settings including Division I
intercollegiate athletics,
physical therapy clinics, high
schools and other appropriate
health care areas as a
Prospective Athletic Training
Student (ATS). These experiences
are meant to give the student a
true appreciation of the
dynamics the profession
exhibits.
Once accepted into the
program as upperclassman (at the
end of the spring semester in
freshman year), students are
assigned to a Board of
Certification (BOC) Certified
Athletic Trainer (ATC) where
they are responsible to provide
for the overall health care of
patients over the course of
their respective seasons.
Clinical instruction of students
is achieved through direct
supervision of a licensed
physician and the staff ATC.
The curriculum is based in
the human sciences with anatomy,
physiology, biomechanics,
pathology, pharmacology,
nutrition and psychology
providing the theoretical
foundation of student inquiry.
Students learn how to apply
these theoretical concepts while
in the clinical setting working
under licensed physicians, ATC's,
Physical Therapists and other
allied health care
professionals. This balance of
theory and practical application
prepares students to sit for the
National Athletic Trainers'
Association Board of
Certification examination where
upon successful completion, may
earn the credentials ATC.
