- 7. 2 Student TestimonialsSara Sullivan, ATC - HS in Tarpon Springs, FL (Liberty University) “My KSC internship challenged me in ways that I did not expect. The tasks that I faced made me grow as a student, as a young adult, as a professional, and as a Certified Athletic Trainer.” DeWayne A. Smith, ATC, CSCS, NASM-CPT, CES, PES - National Academy of Sports Medicine (Concord College) “During my RehabWorks internship, I learned to push my own boundaries, be an independent thinker, and step outside of the box as an Athletic Trainer. This challenging program does a stellar job in identifying weaknesses, and promoting positive change. Erik is great mentor and serves as a pivotal source of encouragement.”Kaitlyn Warner – University of Ohio, GA-University of Florida “As an intern at RehabWorks, I believe that I have been given an amazing opportunity to explore the industrial athletic training setting. I learn best by doing and I believe that this hands-on experience is the perfect chance for me to critique and learn new athletic training skills. I also believe that by working one-on-one with a variety of patients of different ages, I will be able to improve my communication skills and become a more confident athletic training student.” Jordan Dorrien East Stroudsburg University “Interning at RehabWorks is providing me the opportunity to improve my skills and is challenging me to think about new concepts and ideas of clinical treatment. Through its unique setting and diverse experiences, RehabWorks has become an amazing asset to my future goal as an athletic training professional in an emerging setting.” The RehabWorks staff has more than 40 years of combined experience as licensed athletic trainers in the occupational health and industrial setting. https://rehabworks.ksc.nasa.gov /KSC RehabWorks ATHLETIC TRAINING CLINICAL ROTATIONS Kennedy Space Center, Florida Developed in 1997, RehabWorks has been providing musculoskeletal rehabilitation to employees with work related and non-work related injuries including providing post op rehabilitation.

- 9. 10,500 students graduate annually from undergrad programs 336 of CAATE accredited program (plus 28 master programs) 30,000 members – 8546 are in emerging settings This represents about 3,000 facilities in emerging settings If 10% offered COs (300 facilities), 3 student per site avg = only 900 CO openings, = 8% of graduating AT students SUPPLY and DEMAND More students = more opportunities Growth of the Emerging Setting Let’s Set the Stage
- 10. Program Directors! Are our students being exposed to all elements of our profession? What emerging settings are available to your students? Students! What could a clinical opportunity in an emerging setting offer you that your school couldn’t? Emerging Settings! Do you have a setting that could offer AT students a valuable and unique experience when it comes to patient care? Let’s Set The Stage

- 12. Students need new opportunities to expand their “book smarts” in new and challenging ways within settings that demand them to dive deep and go far into uncharted territories, to cultivate critical thinking skills, exposure to a wide range of demographics, to risk failure and to realize that the human body does more than just play sports through life….it ages and fails frequently. The emerging setting does not have to be a career choice but it should be a tool that cultivates and fine tunes the professional medical skills that an AT is expected to produce. What is Missing??
- 13. Creates excitement Breaks down a students comfort zone Generates innovative ideas for our profession within young minds Broadens the student’s horizons – new experience in life Exposes them to physical medicine aspects that are not readily available in an athletic setting Develops skills in educational outreach training Business development Branding, marketing, ROI, the value of the AT outside the sports world, etc. Exposure to Emerging Settings
- 15. Create a database that consists of an up to date list of available athletic training clinical opportunities among emerging settings for students This database will allow student athletic trainers to search for specific criteria that meets their location, financial, setting and educational needs. Evaluate the supply and demand of CO’s and determine what role COPA could play in helping emerging settings create new CO’s Purpose of COES Database
- 16. Only active members (both professionals and students) will have access to this database Database will be found on the COPA home page Links to COES Database Educators page Student page Employment page (Career development) Database can be edited or deleted at anytime by submitting member. All members have to accept a disclaimer before entering the database Database Key Facts

- 18. Would you or your facility be interested in creating an educational athletic training clinical rotation? Since you do not have a current clinical rotation program what reasons would best describe your barriers. If NATA/COPA could offer examples and resources such as: program design, application requirements, legal forms, contract samples, security suggestions, etc., would this help in the development of a clinical rotation at your facility.

- 35. SAMPLE NASA EDUCATIONAL AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE AA-B-1 Dear The Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Health Branch at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, John F. Kennedy Space Center (herein after “NASA-KSC”) and the University of *** (herein after “UNIVERSITY”) have discussed the placement of University students in the NASA-KSC Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Health Branch’s Health and Medical Education Program, as an unpaid intern. NASA-KSC and University acknowledge this agreement is not legally binding or enforceable. The purpose of this Agreement In Principle (AIP) is to permit University students majoring in the areas of Medicine, Physical Medicine and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, Health and Wellness, Public Health, Exercise Science, and other areas as appropriate, to intern in the Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Health Branch. This AIP will enable University to provide opportunities for its students to gain practical experience. NASA-KSC and University intend to work together to create meaningful internships for University students, but neither is obligated to provide or place students. Students will be placed only when the Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Health Branch has productive and educational work assignments available. It is anticipated that students will be provided an opportunity on a predetermined basis and will be selected by University. University of Central Florida intends to: 1. Provide NASA-KSC, in writing, prior to any student being permitted to come on center, with the names of the students1 assigned by University to participate in the internship program. However, NASA-KSC may set limits on the number of students who may participate at any given time, and NASA-KSC is not obligated to allow placement of students into the program. 2. Designate a member of University faculty to coordinate the educational experience of students participating in the Program with the NASA-KSC Liaison, and provide NASA-KSC with the name of University faculty representative. 1 A student as defined by 5 U.S.C. §3111 (a) is: An individual who is enrolled, not less than half-time, in a high school, trade school, technical or vocational institute, junior college, college, university, or comparable recognized educational institution. An individual who is a student is deemed not to have ceased to be a student during an interim between school years if the interim is not more than 5 months and if such individual shows to the satisfaction of the Office of Personnel Management that the individual has a bona fide intention of continuing to pursue a course of study or training in the same or different educational institution during the school semester (or other period into which the school year is divided) immediately after the interim. Experience must be uncompensated. Sample Agreement in Principle • NASA does not sign school learning contracts. • Most clinics/emerging settings do not want and can’t sign contracts with schools. • CO need to create a AIP or educational agreement.
