Portfolio Development for Athletic Training Students   

Information as a PDF with "Proficiency Checklist"

What is a portfolio?

A working portfolio will be kept in the Clinical Coordinator’s office throughout your duration as a student in the ATEP; the portfolio is documentation of your “learning over time.”  It contains a compilation of materials that reflect both the process and products of experiences during the athletic training education program.  The portfolio includes artifacts (samples of work) that demonstrate your progress throughout the educational experience and provide evidence of your competency and proficiency as you move into the profession of athletic training.  The Clinical Coordinator will be primarily responsible for obtaining and organizing your portfolio items.  Items in your portfolio include but are not limited to: second checksheets, clinical field experience evaluations, reflective journal writings, a compiled record of your clinical hours experience, and select artifacts from your courses within the ATEP (see sample course artifacts listed below). 

Your responsibilities include:

1. Providing evidence of current CPR card (photocopy) annually.
2. Recording and compiling your clinical experience hours each semester (see guidelines below).
3.  Submitting significant coursework artifacts for athletic training courses each semester. Failure to update your portfolio each semester on or before the last day of final exams may result in a NO PASS grade in the clinical course and placement on clinical probation.

Each portfolio must have some common elements.  Your portfolio must contain:

1. Artifacts (samples of work) from courses (see sample artifacts below)
2. Completed proficiency check sheets- ACI
3. Completed field experience evaluation forms (self and CI)
4. Yearly updated CPR card
5. Compilation of your clinical hours (see guidelines below)
6. Other:  Any additional work from classes, field experience, professional conferences attended, professional presentations given, surgeries observed, etc.

Documentation of field experience hours for the semester
Update your clinical experience hours each semester in your portfolio, providing the total number of hours for the semester as well as the cumulative number of hours for the program.  The semester hours should be divided based on the experience in which they were accumulated. Possible headings may include: Pre-professional (minimum of 30 hours observation), Checksheets, Athletic Training Room, Men’s Ice Hockey, Baseball, etc.
