Please attach to this proposal a narrative with the following information:
A. Statement of major focus and objectives of the revised program.
Students accepted into the Athletic Training Program must acquire clinical experiences over a minimum of two and a half academic years as assigned by the Director of Athletic Training Education. These experiences will be on a rotation as described in the WSU Athletic Training Education Handbook. Clinical experiences may be acquired at a variety of settings that include experiences with upper extremity intensive sports, lower extremity intensive sports, equipment intensive sports, and general medical rotations. These experiences will be under the direct supervision of a variety of Approved Clinical Instructors (ACIs), as well as experiences with other types of health care providers or Clinical Instructors (CIs). However, the majority of the student’s clinical experiences will be at WSU in a traditional athletic training setting.
Students obtain traditional clinical education experiences by working with football, hockey, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, track, and wrestling. Students have many opportunities to attend team practices and events, travel with teams, attend NCAA Division II post-season competitions, attend orthopedic surgeries, and learn from our team physician on campus and at the clinic or hospital.
Athletic Training majors build on the foundation courses of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, exercise physiology, nutrition, and mechanical kinesiology with specific courses in athletic training. These courses expose the student to Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) competencies and proficiencies in injury prevention, recognition, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation. Clinical sites include the athletic training facilities at WSU, Saint Mary’s University, Winona Senior High School, and other area high schools. Students also gain valuable community-based medical experience at Sports and Orthopaedic Specialists, Sport & Spine Physical Therapy Clinic, Winona Area Ambulance Service, Back to Health Chiropractic & Wellness, and Winona Health.
B. New Catalog Content
1. Provide a list of program content as it would appear in the catalog including required courses, electives, etc., by number and name. Include the number and name for each prerequisite, and all prerequisites of proposed prerequisites. All such prerequisites, and prerequisites of prerequisites, should be included in the total credit hour calculations for the revised program.

HERS 280 Foundations of Exercise Science (3 S.H.) An introductory course to provide students with foundation knowledge necessary for professional success in the exercise sciences. Students will have the opportunity to explore allied health professions and learn essential skills for success. Students will have practical experiences in the assessment of fitness components and performance variables.
HERS 328 - Behavioral Interventions (3 S.H.)
Application of theories of behavior change to program planning for the secondary student and adult population. Students utilize a wide range of techniques and strategies for community and secondary health education. Upon successful completion of this course, students will (1) be able to create, develop and write teaching strategies, (2) learn proper presentation skills, and (3) become advocates for the field of health education/promotion. Prerequisites: HERS 204 and 288; teaching option majors: HERS 320. Grade only. Offered fall semester.

FINANCIAL AND STAFFING DATA SHEET
Course or Program Athletic Training
Include a Financial and Staffing Data Sheet with any proposal for a new course, new program, or revised program.
Please answer the following questions completely. Provide supporting data.
1. Would this course or program be taught with existing staff or with new or additional staff? If this course would be taught by adjunct faculty, include a rationale.
HERS 280 will change from 2 SH to 3 SH and the title will change to Foundations of Exercise Science. HERS 235 Professional Issues will be combined with HERS 280 and HERS 235 will be dropped. 2 SH will be SAVED!
HERS 191 Introduction to Athletic Training will increase from 1 SH to 2 SH. This course has an outside of class clinical component and a faculty member has taught these additional laboratory sections. The increase creates equity for both faculty and students.
HERS 328 Behavioral Interventions has been added to meet CAATE Accreditation Standards and Athletic Training Educational Competencies 5th Edition. This will add an additional small group section each year. Movement Science students will add another break out section. The 2 additional faculty SH will be those saved from dropping HERS 235.
2. What impact would approval of this course/program have on current course offerings? Please discuss number of sections of current offerings, dropping of courses, etc.
Dropping HERS 235 will provide the faculty resources for instructing additional lab sections of 328 and 280.
3. What effect would approval of this course/program have on the department supplies? Include data to support expenditures for staffing, equipment, supplies, instructional resources, etc.
none
