Once students are admitted into the Athletic Training Education Program they will be assigned to an Clinical Instructor in one of the TCU athletic training rooms to gain field experience. Clinical Instructors are Certified Athletic Trainers that facilitate the athletic training students education in the clinical setting.

Athletic training students will complete rotations with an equipment intensive sport (i.e. football), a lower extremity sport (i.e. basketball, track, soccer), and an upper extremity sport (i.e. volleyball, swimming, tennis). During the junior year, the athletic training student will complete rotations with an orthopedic physician as well as a physical therapist in the clinical setting. Senior students will complete a general medical rotation with the Team Physician/Medical Director.

Athletic training students are evaluated on their proficiency throughout the program. Clinical proficiency in an assigned set of skills is formally evaluated each semester in a Clinical Education course and/or by an Approved Clinical Instructor in the athletic training room.
