2016-2017 Preceptor Development

In the Fall 2016, Preceptors were provided with the opportunity to review how to incorporate evidence based practice into their daily practice. This often discussed concept is a required content area of athletic training education, and our students use these concepts in the classroom and during their clinical experiences to improve patient care. We hope that you enjoy the 30 minute Preceptor Update.
