Athletic Training Health
Requirements
Because athletic training is an allied health profession, there are certain health requirements that Athletic Training Students (ATS) must meet in order to work with athletes. These requirements are established to keep both the student and the athletes they are treating safe.
1. Prior to beginning observation hours associated with ESPE 145, all students must complete blood-borne pathogen training.
2. Prior to enrolling in sophomore level athletic training clinical coursework (ESPE 345, 346) students must have the following on file:
- Signed technical
standards
- Proof of current CPR
for the professional rescuer (or equivalent),
and first aid certifications
- Proof of a current health history, immunization review (including Hepatitis B vaccine), and physical examination (performed by an MD, DP, NP, or PA) that verifies a student is able to meet the physical and psychological rigors of the program. You may use this physical
examination form.
- Proof of annual OSHA
training
3. Prior to enrolling in ESPE 445, 446, 545, and 546 students must have the following updates on file:
- Proof of current CPR for the professional rescuer (or equivalent), and first aid certifications
- Proof of annual OSHA training
Communicable Disease Policy
As a program in an allied health profession,
transmission of communicable disease is of great
concern. In order to address this concern, the
policy of the Adrian College Athletic Training
Education Program is as follows:
- Any ATS should report
any personal illness that might place those
they work with at risk of infection to their
supervising ACI/CI
- Any ATS should be
examined by a physician or nurse at the Student
Health Center if there is any question about
the illness
- Any ATS that is
ill and has communicated this to his/her ACI/CI
prior to the assigned clinical experience
should stay home. This should be considered
an excused absence having no effect on the
final clinical evaluation.
