- 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

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.

- 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.

Editor's Notes
- Yes emerging settings have been around for a long time however it has the fewest amount of employed ATs within our profession therefore we are still trying to grow and merge into that setting
- Terminology…. Internshipvs Clinical Opportunities
- Have students really completed full evaluations on their own. Are they capable of truly running a program and being a head AT.
- The study was two-fold we wanted to create a database that connected students with a pathway to connect with clinical opportunities but we also wanted to take emerging settings that offered unique opportunities for educational experience for the students and create new clinical opportunities
- If they answered NO to the question of having an CO then they answered these questions.
- 274 emerging setting sites were interested in creating an clinical opportunity
- Not every emerging setting is going to be logistically able to be a preceptor for every student. We need to look at reversing the process for distant sites. They fall under an emerging setting preceptor? Even if a student is coming to a site voluntarily on their own and not receiving credits…do they need a preceptor…? One problem we have as CO site is managing the student requirements…..sign this, sign that.
