Abstract | Context: International topics in athletic training are gaining recognition. Particularly interesting are opportunities for athletic training students to gain international experiences and develop cultural competence through study abroad. However, little is known about current international experience opportunities for these students. Objective: To identify international experience opportunities for athletic training students, investigate student and faculty participation, and describe characteristics of institutions and programs offering such experiences. Design: Survey. Setting: Online. Patients or Other Participants: All directors of Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education--accredited professional athletic training programs were recruited. The response rate was 41.9% (163/389). Data Collection and Analysis: An e-mail soliciting participation was sent in January 2019. The online survey had 4 sections: (1) questions about athletic training-related international experiences, (2) questions about discipline-related international experiences, (3) questions about athletic training faculty or student participation, and (4) demographic questions about the program or institution. Data were analyzed descriptively. The characteristics of programs offering athletic training-related international experiences were compared with programs offering discipline-related international experiences using X[superscript 2] tests for degree level, institution type, and athletic division. Results: Twenty-nine programs (17.8%) offered athletic training-related international experiences and 68 programs (41.7%) offered discipline-related experiences. Private universities were more likely to offer an athletic training-related experience, and public universities more likely to offer a discipline-related experience (X[superscript 2] 1/4 4.197, df 1/4 1, P 1/4 0.04). There were no other differences between institution types, program degree levels, or athletic divisions (all P greater than 0.05). Some programs reported no recent athletic training student (44%) or athletic training faculty (58%) participation in any international experience. Conclusions: A minority of programs currently offer either athletic training-related or discipline-related international experiences. Characteristics of available programs vary widely. To keep pace with professional globalization, future work should identify ways to develop international experiences. (As Provided). |
