PROGRAM SNAPSHOT ATHLETIC TRAINING Program Description: The UW-Stevens Point athletic training program provides students with opportunities that utilize classroom and real-life experiences so students become valued athletic training professionals. Students are evaluated on skills and knowledge throughout each experience and receive feedback to encourage growth and improvement. To achieve certification in athletic training, students must graduate from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and pass a national Board of Certification (BOC) examination. Highlights: • Sense Arena: We secured a large donation from Sense Arena and are in collaborations with this company and Charles University in Prague for continued research on virtual reality. • Continuing to expand the MS-AT into the community with the start of PLAY (Pointers Leading Active Youth). We have developed a program that is offered at UWSP for 4K-5th grade students to learn the importance of proper movement. We have established a relationship with the Stevens Point Area Public School District to offer the course as part of the summer school curriculum which will be led by our MS-AT students. • Graduating our first cohort: The MS-AT has completed one full cohort for our program and are proud of them and what they have accomplished.
PROGRAM SNAPSHOT PHYSICAL THERAPY (DPT) Program Description: The UW-Stevens Point DPT program is a developing program. The program will emphasize developing the physical therapist who has the knowledge, skills and abilities to practice in the unique environments our rural communities offer. The program will enroll the first cohort in June of 2022*. The program is a 2.5-year program, with students taking classes year-round. The program is anchored in: • learning through practice with your faculty • interprofessional learning opportunities • an emphasis on health promotion and the role movement plays in keeping our communities healthy Vision: To transform societal health through physical therapy education by creating professionals who collaborate to serve the evolving, diverse needs our communities.
