The goal of clinical education is to place students in environments conducive to their development of clinical skills in order to become proficient athletic trainers. The diversity of clinical settings, and patient populations, along with the expertise of preceptors allow students to matriculate through a progressive sequence of clinical experiences leading to autonomous clinical practice.
