ATEP Home -> FAQ -> What happens after my year as a directed observation student?
What happens after my year as a directed observation / pre-athletic training student?
The admissions process is competitive. Therefore, not every student is admitted to the ATEP. There is a limit to the number of students that can be enrolled in the ATEP, therefore, the number of students admitted will depend on the number of positions available. If admitted to the ATEP, students will join the athletic training student staff and be assigned to a clinical rotation (UT sports team, high school, sports medicine clinic, etc.). From this point on, as long as the student meets the program’s standards, they continue taking classes and performing clinical rotations to prepare for graduation and the national certification and/or state licensure exam. Once admitted to the ATEP, students should expect an increase in their time commitment. Fulfilling the clinical rotation assignment must be a high priority for the student to successfully complete the program’s requirements. In addition to the increased time demands, the clinical and professional expectations and demands placed on the student increase dramatically once they are admitted.
