Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training

Mission Statement: The mission of the University of New Mexico Athletic Training Education Program (UNM-ATEP) is to provide a comprehensive and progressive, didactic and clinical foundation to prepare qualified professionals for a career in athletic training. Strong emphasis is placed upon the provision of opportunities within the curriculum for the development of skills encompassing the domains of athletic training. Through successful completion of the UNM-ATEP, graduates are prepared to pass the Board of Certification examination, become competent healthcare professionals and, provide optimal health care to the physically active.

Overview: The UNM-ATEP is dedicated to creating and maintaining an educational program that meets the standards and guidelines set forth by the following governing bodies: National Athletic Trainers’ Association Education Council; Board of Certification; and Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Currently, the UNM-ATEP is accredited by CAATE.

The University of New Mexico grants a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Athletic Training upon completion of the UNM-ATEP. Successful completion of the UNM-ATEP is achieved through structure and content as described below:

Structure

The number of credit hours in the UNM-ATEP is 132.
89 of the 132 credit hours are specific to the competencies within the eight educational content areas set forth by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.
60 of the 132 credit hours are UNM core classes and electives.

Content

The Board of Certification Role Delineation/Practice Analysis 6th edition (2011) concluded the profession is divided into five major domains:

Injury/Illness Prevention and Wellness Protection;
Clinical Evaluation and Diagnosis;
Immediate and Emergency Care;
Treatment and Rehabilitation;
Organization and Professional Health and Well-being.

The above domains are then divided into twelve educational content areas which define the educational curricula that students enrolled in an accredited athletic training program must master. The eight curriculum content areas include:

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;
Professional Development and Responsibility

Technical Standards for Program Admission

Technical Standards: The UNM-ATEP is an intense program that places specific educational and clinical requirements on the students enrolled in the program. Upon enrollment into this program, students are prepared to enter a variety of athletic training employment settings by achieving the skills, competencies, and knowledge of an entry level Certified Athletic Trainer. The following technical standards set forth by the UNM-ATEP define the essential qualities necessary for students who are considering admission into the program. These standards meet the requirements set forth by the governing body of all athletic training education programs, the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.

Candidates for admission into the UNM-ATEP must demonstrate:

The ability to communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and instructors. This includes individuals of different social, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
Students must be able to speak and comprehend the English language at a level capable of communicating in a professional manner while within the health care environment.
Adequate postural, neuromuscular control, sensory function, and coordination to accurately, and safely perform accepted evaluation techniques.
The mental capacity to analyze, assimilate, problem solve, and integrate concepts essential to the practice of athletic training.
The ability to accurately and efficiently document treatments, rehabilitations, and evaluations.
Affective skills and appropriate conduct that relate to professional education, and superior patient care.
The capacity to maintain composure and continue to function well during periods of high stress and demands.
The perseverance, diligence, and commitment to successfully complete the UNM-ATEP as outlined by the Athletic Training Student Handbook.

Candidates for selection into the UNM-ATEP are required to verify that they understand and are able to meet the above technical standards, or that they believe that with certain accommodations they can meet these standards.

If a student states that he or she cannot meet these standards without accommodation, then the UNM Student Disability Services Department will confirm that the stated condition qualifies as a disability under State and Federal laws. This includes a review of the proposed accommodations, to determine if these accommodations may in any way jeopardize patient and clinician safety, or the educational course work of the student or the institution, including course work and clinical experiences necessary for graduation from the UNM-ATEP.

Application Procedures

Program Admission Requirements: Admission into the UNM-ATEP is a highly competitive process and the number of students accepted is limited. Acceptance is based upon academic achievement, recommendations, the number of clinical educators, and available clinical settings. Students may apply to the UNM-ATEP, if they have met the following requirements:

Transfer Course Acceptance Procedure

The UNM-ATEP Coordinator, along with the Department of Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences (HESS) Chair, reviews all course descriptions and syllabi. Materials submitted are compared to UNM course descriptions, objectives and competencies / proficiencies to determine if they are compatible.

If a course does not have comparable credit hours, content, objectives, and/or clinical experiences, the course is not substituted for a UNM course, and the student follows the usual athletic training curricular plan. If the course is equivalent to the UNM course, the student is required to demonstrate all competencies / proficiencies associated with the transfer course. The course is then placed within the curricular plan where deemed appropriate by the UNM-ATEP Coordinator and the HESS Chair.
