Athletic training students (ATS) enrolled in clinical education courses will be required to develop, with the help of their preceptor, a tentative weekly clinical education schedule. The tentative schedule will be completed during the first week of the clinical assignment and uploaded to Canvas at the end of the first week of the new rotation.
It is expected that ATS will arrive for their assigned clinical education at the predetermined scheduled time. ATS are required to give proper and reasonable advanced notice to their assigned preceptor if they will miss their regular assigned clinical education time or will arrive late. If an ATS fails to give proper and reasonable advanced notice of their absence or late arrival, it could be considered a breach of duty and the ATS may be subject to the UNL ATP Infraction Policy or Termination Policy.
Each student is required to complete a minimum number of clinical hours to fulfill the requirements for each clinical education course (ATHT 810, 815, 820, 825). Students must obtain a minimum of 100 clinical hours per semester for each clinical education course. Students may not exceed the maximum of 500 clinical hours per semester for each clinical education course.
Students must have one day in every seven-day period with no obligations either assigned or assumed from the UNL ATP.
ATS are required to accurately record clinical hours from the last seven (7) days on Typhon. Failure to record clinical hours accurately may result in programmatic and/or academic penalties in the clinical education course.
Preceptors assigned to ATS will verify the hours recorded in Typhon are documented accurately.
