Athletic Training
About
Students will demonstrate acquisition and application of athletic training knowledge, skills, and abilities at the master's degree level. The educational standards are listed as objectives and outcomes in required athletic training courses. The competencies and proficiencies are now curriculum standards: See 2020 Professional Standards for MAT (Appendix F).
Athletic Training Professional Preparation
Students will be prepared for athletic training professional practice by demonstrating professional dispositions and clinical decision-making with patients in level-specific practice internships at affiliated clinical sites with the mentoring of qualified clinical preceptors (instructors) by establishing collaborative relationships. Students will also demonstrate leadership and management skills.
Professional/Ethical Behavior in Classroom, Clinic, and Work
Students will demonstrate professional, ethical, and moral behavior as students and clinicians in classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings preparatory to professional conduct in their careers. As professionals, graduated students will synthesize what they learned at BYU to work as ethical and moral people in their communities.
Communication Skills
Students will demonstrate oral and written communication skills with emphasis on presentation of clinically relevant evidence. They will communicate effectively and professionally with the sports medicine team, staff members, patients, and peers.
Integrate Science into Practice
Students will demonstrate a foundational understanding of clinical research, including design, methods and applied statistics. They will be able to think critically to identify and solve problems by integrating scientific information and research into athletic training practice.
Evidence-Based Practice
Students will be able to read, digest, and synthesize key concepts from the relevant athletic training and medical literature. They will be able to develop a relevant clinical question using a predefined question format (e.g., PICO = Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes). They will be able to apply and interpret clinical outcomes to assess patient status, progress, and change using psychometrically sound outcome instruments.

Continuing and currently enrolled BYU students applying for graduate school, as well as full-time BYU employees applying for a graduate program, must also obtain a new endorsement. All applicants are encouraged to complete the Ecclesiastical Endorsement process well in advance of their respective graduate program application deadlines to prevent possible delays in being considered for admission.
