Sports Medicine is a popular general term that refers to all those individuals and services that are necessary to maintain the overall health of athletes and other active individuals. Athletic Training is a health care discipline that is included within the practice of sports medicine. In 1991, the profession of athletic training was recognized as an allied health profession by the American Medical Association (AMA); however, athletic trainers have provided health care for athletes and other individuals for more than 60 years. The scope of practice of a Certified Athletic Trainer includes five areas of clinical practice: Injury/illness prevention and wellness protection, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and organizational and professional health and well-being.

Duquesne's four-year (127 credits) Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) (www.caate.net) is no longer enrolling students and is in the final two years of its teach out plan. Student professional preparation at Duquesne involves a solid liberal arts and basic science foundation, as well as the development of professional competency and clinical proficiency in the following 9 content areas: foundational behaviors of professional practice, evidence-based practice, prevention and health promotion, clinical examination and diagnosis, acute care of injury and illness, therapeutic interventions, psychosocial strategies and referral, healthcare administration, and professional development and responsibility.

Duquesne's five-year (163 credits) Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences/Master of Science in Athletic Training degree program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) (www.caate.net). Student professional preparation at Duquesne involves a solid liberal arts and basic science foundation, as well as the development of professional competency and clinical proficiency in the following 9 content areas: foundational behaviors of professional practice, evidence-based practice, prevention and health promotion, clinical examination and diagnosis, acute care of injury and illness, therapeutic interventions, psychosocial strategies and referral, healthcare administration, and professional development and responsibility.

In addition to traditional classroom and laboratory education, athletic training students are required to participate in clinical education experiences.  These clinical experiences occur under the direct supervision of Board of Certification (BOC) certified and state licensed Athletic Trainers or other health care providers, providing care for athletes and patients in local high schools, colleges/universities, professional/amateur sport teams, sport performance and professional dance settings, as well as clinics, hospitals and physician offices.

Unlike many athletic training education programs at other colleges and universities, 麻豆直播 admits students directly into the athletic training major as freshmen; there are 30 seats in each freshman class with a rolling admissions process until all seats are filled. Admitted students must meet all Rangos School of Health Sciences (RSHS) admissions requirements, have evidence of extracurricular and/or work experiences during high school, and have the ability to meet all the programmatic, medical and performance/technical standards of the program. Students must maintain a 2.75 QPA during the pre-professional phase (first three years) and 3.0 QPA in the professional phase (final two years) of the academic program.  These and other admission and retention requirements are explained in greater detail on the Department of Athletic Training website (www.duq.edu/athletictraining). Students must successfully complete all degree and program requirements to become eligible to sit for the national boards (BOC examination) in Athletic Training (www.bocatc.org). Upon successful completion of the BOC examination, students become eligible to apply for the athletic training practice credential in their home states; Pennsylvania state licensure information for Athletic Trainers may be found on the Pennsylvania Department of State website.

Students who meet all programmatic requirements during the pre-professional program will be admitted into the professional program. Students may transfer into the program, up through the third year, based upon their academic standing, ability to meet the programmatic, medical and technical standards of the program, appropriate past course work, and seat availability. Transfer and second degree students must have a minimum QPA of 2.75 and have demonstrated 鈥淏鈥� grades or better in their science courses.

Athletic Training Graduation Requirements

Bachelor of Science

A student who has completed all requirements with a minimum 3.0 cumulative professional GPA and successfully completed all clinical education requirements will receive a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree.

Master of Science in Athletic Training

A student who has completed all requirements with a minimum 3.0 cumulative professional phase GPA and successfully completed all clinical education requirements will receive a Master of Sciences in Athletic Training degree.

Athletic Training Certification & Licensure

Athletic Trainers must be certified on a national level and be certified, registered, or licensed on a state level, if required by the state in which the student intends to practice. Upon completion of program requirements in athletic training, students will be eligible to sit for the national Board of Certification examination (BOC). Athletic training students may sit for their examination at the testing time that immediately precedes graduation, but the department recommends that students take the certification in June, following their May graduation. The approximate cost is $360.00. All students must pass this examination to be recognized nationally as certified athletic trainers. Students must register for the examination online.

Those students who wish to practice in the state of Pennsylvania also must apply to the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine and State Board of Osteopathic Medicine for licensure as an athletic trainer after they have passed the BOC examination. An athletic trainer must have this certification to practice as a licensed health professional in Pennsylvania. More information on this licensure process is available from the Bureau of Professional Licensure, State Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine. If a student wishes to practice outside the state of Pennsylvania, that student should contact the specific state's athletic training organization or the BOC for more information.
