What are some benefits to off-campus experiences?
Offering off-campus experiences allows athletic training students an opportunity to experience various philosophies from other supervisors and also gain experiences in another environment. Within an off-campus setting, there will be fewer peers present and the hands on learning opportunities can be greater for the students. In addition, it can provide the students with another reference for employment. This mix as well as the “regular” experiences will continue to provide all of our students with the clinical opportunities we have always utilized. In essence, football is only one semester of the overall five semester clinical experiences and senior internship experience.
