MISSION STATEMENT
The Athletic Training Department at UTSA is committed to providing the highest standard of sports medicine care to all UTSA student-athletes. This includes education, prevention, evaluation, recognition, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses associated with athletic participation. Referral necessary for additional medical and psychological evaluation and treatment is also provided.
The UTSA Athletic Training staff is dedicated to this mission and to compliance with
UTSA, Southland Conference, and NCAA rules and regulations.
WHAT IS AN ATHLETIC TRAINER?
An Athletic Trainer is defined as an allied health care provider educated and trained in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries. A Certified Athletic
Trainer will possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, while 70% of all
Certified Athletic Trainers have obtained a master’s degree. All Certified Athletic
Trainers have passed an examination, and are regulated by the National Athletic Training
Association Board of Certification. Athletic Trainers in the state of Texas must also pass a separate examination in order to become licensed by the state.
The UTSA Athletic Training program is a non-accredited program that serves as a conduit for Texas State Licensure and further education in the field of sports medicine.
Our program will do its best to provide hands on experience and skills in the areas of prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries. After completion of the
UTSA sports medicine program, you will have met the requirements to sit for the Texas
State Licensure exam.
OVERVIEW: THE ROLE OF THE STUDENT ATHLETIC TRAINER
This purpose of this handbook is to acquaint the student athletic trainer with the policies and procedures of the athletic training department at UTSA. It is the student athletic trainer’s individual responsibility to be familiar with these policies and overall mission of the department, to carry out their duties in a professional manner, and adhere to all
3

policies, procedures, rules, and regulations set forth by the staff athletic trainers, the university, the Southland Conference, and the NCAA.
GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
1.
The main priority of the student athletic trainer is the well-being of the studentathlete. The student athletic trainer’s role is vital in assisting the staff athletic trainers with providing sports medicine care.
2.
Follow all instructions of the staff athletic trainers. Any student athletic trainer unclear of any given instructions should ask a staff athletic trainer prior to carrying out the task.
3.
The student athletic trainer is a representative of UTSA and should always carry a professional appearance and behavior. Proper dress code should be followed, and clothing must be approved by a staff member.

warning, SAT’s will only receive credit for one hour each day they forget to log in or out of the Tutor Track system.
12.
The attendance of student athletic trainers at practices and games must be held accountable. If you will be absent or must leave your sporting assignment, it is your responsibility to notify and get permission from your overseeing staff member.

All treatments given to student athletes must be approved by a staff member and logged into Sportsware.

13.
If a student athlete is not adhering to the UTSA athletic training room policies and procedures, it should be brought to a staff athletic trainer’s attention immediately. At the head athletic trainer’s discretion, the student athlete may lose privileges to the athletic training room.

10.
The student athletic trainer must attend all team events while traveling (meals, meetings, practices, etc.), unless excused by a UTSA staff athletic trainer or the head coach.
PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism is how you are represented to others. Professionalism is taking pride in what you are representing. Professionalism is not something that always stands out, but is quickly noticed when lacking. Therefore, there is a high expectation that the UTSA
Athletic Training Department will provide a high level of professionalism.

Professionalism is attitude, behavior, appearance, self motivation and work ethic.

athlete when they enter the training room and be ready to assist them at all

gain knowledge in the field of athletic training. This is done through asking
questions, becoming involved in student athlete rehabilitation, and observing.

the facility. If all pertinent tasks have been completed, student athletic trainers
may study or practice taping.
