Athletic Training Education Program

General Information for Summer Clinical Experiences

The summer ICEP will be the primary sources of learning structure for all Athletic Training majors intending to acquire clinical education experiences during the summer (or winter inter-session). At the beginning of each new clinical assignment, students will complete ICEP as a guide for their upcoming clinical learning experiences. Each ICEP will be developed by the student, and approved by the CEC/PD before being implemented (before clinical experiences begin). ICEPs will be based/developed on the included components. All required ICEP materials will be presented and organized in a 3-ring notebook at the conclusion of the respective clinical experience.

Purposes of the ICEP

1. Increase student responsibility for clinical learning experiences and education by requiring them to think ahead for each new clinical assignment, and by setting more specific goals for each student at each setting.
2. Increase the structure for clinical instructors as to what should be emphasized for maximum student learning and engagement.
   Improve upon the tracking and management of our students' clinical education progress.
3. Produce better clinical education outcomes for all students and thus, better outcomes for our clinical instructors as well.
4. Create a dynamic and accurate clinical education portfolio for each student that will guide him or her through the clinical curriculum.

General Guidelines
