Athletic Training: Letter to Prospective Students |
|
Thank you for your interest in the Athletic Training Education Program at SUNY Brockport. This program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) since 1999. The Athletic Training Program is a concentration within the Department of Physical Education and Sport and is currently open to any major, although physical education is the most common choice. Graduates from the Athletic Training Program at Brockport are currently working in many different settings across the country including colleges and universities, professional sport teams, high schools, sports medicine clinics, and many others. In a typical graduating class, approximately 50% of the graduating students attend graduate school while approximately 50% pursue employment in the field. During the last five years SUNY Brockport students have performed very well on the BOC Certification Exam. Students may apply to the Athletic Training Program beginning in the spring semester of their freshman year. The concentration involves both academic coursework and four semesters of clinical experience and requires two academic years to complete. The program is governed by guidelines that incorporate a student/certified athletic trainer ratio, and therefore limits the number of students that may be admitted into the program. As a result, admission to the program is selective. Students who are formally accepted into the Athletic Training Concentration and successfully complete the program are eligible to take the Board of Certification Examination. For additional information regarding the Athletic Training Program please contact Dr. Tim Henry at (585)-395-5357 or by e-mail: thenry@brockport.edu. Sincerely, Timothy J. Henry, PhD, ATC
