Calendar 2005-2006 - The University of Akron

Clinical Experience
Under the new Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs (CAA-
HEP) guidelines, all clinical experiences are built into the core athletic training
courses. The courses are designated with a ** under core athletic training courses.
The clinical experience hours are designated as either a sport rotation, field
experience or practicum and are under the direct supervision of an Approved
Clinical Instructor (ACI). The only hour requirement which now exists is for the
State of Ohio licensure. The State of Ohio requires 800 hours of documented athletic
training experience under the direct supervision of a certified athletic trainer.
All students will be provided a variety of different sport rotations during their clinical
experience. These rotations will include but not be limited to outside gender
sports, contact sports, collision sports and in-season/off-season sports.
The field experience may be completed at any of our four affiliate allied health settings
which include Akron General Medical Center, Summa Health Systems, The
PT Center for Family PT, and Allied Rehabilitation Centers.

Candidates interested in physical therapy school should:
1. Investigate academic entrance requirements at schools in which they might be
interested and then tailor their program here to meet their needs.
2. Know that most schools require some field/clinical hours prior to admission.
Students in this program will be responsible to accumulate these hours on their
own and under the guidance of certified therapists.
@ Substitutions for courses in concentrated areas may be made with academic advisor approval.

The Bachelor of Science in Education: Sport and Exercise Science is designed to
prepare students for employment in commercial, corporate, clinical, community
and government agencies with interest in the areas of physical activity and health
promotion. The Exercise Science Track prepares individuals for work in clinical fitness
centers, rehabilitation programs, or any other programs that require exercise
prescription and evaluation. The Exercise Science Track prepares students to sit
for certification examinations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Visit pre-admission advising in Zook
Hall 228 or Memorial Hall Room 126 for more information.
