There is no published research known to the author on factors that influence athletic training student enrollment in the graduate programs. An investigation was conducted to determine the factors influencing students' selection of graduate programs and their relationship to gender, age, and ethnicity. A web-based survey was developed with content adapted from the work of Johanson (2004; 2007) and Wilcox, Weber, and Andrew (2005) to assess the factors. The survey was validated through a pilot study and by a panel of experts. Newly accepted, currently enrolled, and graduate students in athletic training master's program were eligible to participate. Respondents (n=410) ranked the importance of 41 factors and submitted open-ended responses to provide further insight on their choices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentages, frequencies, and cross tabulations. Overall, the graduate assistantship factor was found to be the most influential. In addition, gender, age, and ethnicity were related to certain factors (e.g., geographic factors). Implications of this study include further research on the factors influencing athletic training student's selection of graduate programs and the need for better promotion of graduate programs.

Context: As athletic training education continues its transition to a professional master's degree, it is essential to understand how professional master's athletic training students' professional experiences influence their perceptions of athletic training and their career intentions after graduation. Objective: 1) To examine second-year professional master's athletic training students' perceptions of athletic training and identify the factors that influenced their perceptions. 2) To examine the career intentions of second-year professional master's athletic training students and identify the factors that influenced their intentions. Design: Convergent mixed-methods. Setting: Online surveys and individual phone interviews. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 80 second-year professional master's students who graduated in 2019 completed the online survey. Ten survey respondents elected to participate in the follow-up phone interviews. Data Collection and Analysis: We created an online survey and semi-structured interview guide to answer the research questions. We validated the instruments using a content validity index tool. The data from both methodological approaches were blended. As a result, we displayed our findings in one comprehensive results section. We established trustworthiness through triangulation, member checks, memos, and peer debriefing. Results: Five higher-order themes emerged from the data. 1) Perceptions of the athletic training profession: lack of appreciation and awareness for the profession from others, rewarding profession, and dynamic profession. 2) Perceptions of a career in athletic training: low pay, long hours and inconsistent schedules, and inability to have work-life balance. 3) Factors influencing perceptions: clinical experience, interactions with athletic trainers, interactions with the general public, and interactions with other healthcare professionals. 4) Career progression: short-term career plans, concerns over lack of experience, and long-term career plans. 5) Factors influencing career intentions: clinical experience and mentorship. Conclusions: Second-year professional master's athletic training students developed positive and negative perceptions of the athletic profession and a career in the professional during their professional education experiences. Additionally, their professional education experiences allowed them to develop career paths and career goals after graduation. The factors identified were all key socializing agents to the profession and had a profound impact on how they developed their perceptions of athletic training and career paths. The mentorship they received from their clinical preceptors and faculty members were also influential to the development of their career goals and career intentions after graduation.

Differences in perceptions of professional preparedness and factors influencing professional preparedness among entry-level athletic trainers between graduates of professional bachelor's (PB) and professional master's (PM) degree programs were investigated through a mixed-methods study design. A survey and the option for a follow-up interview was sent to a random sample of 1000 entry-level athletic trainers. After applying inclusion criteria, there was a final N of 56. There were no significant differences in perceptions of professional preparedness between PB and PM graduates in any domain of athletic training. In PB and PM program graduates, perceptions of preparedness were significantly lower in the domain of Healthcare Administration and Professional Responsibility compared to all other domains, the domain of Injury Prevention and Wellness Protection (p=.000), the domain of Examination, Assessment, and Diagnosis (p=.000), the domain of Immediate and Emergency Care (p=.000), and the domain of Therapeutic Intervention (p=.000). Clinical Education was ranked to be the most influential factor to professional preparation among PB and PM program graduates. Results call for increased focus on the domain of Healthcare Administration and Professional responsibility through didactic coursework and clinical experiences.

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the lived experiences of recent racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates and factors that contributed to their successful completion of a professional athletic training program. To do this, a survey including the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education Student Inventory and random sampling interviews were utilized. Participants completed a survey, provided inventory scores and open-ended responses, and reflected on their academic experiences as athletic training students. A few participants were selected to complete an interview to further analyze their experiences. Participants included 43 recent racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates. Findings from the inventory results include statistical significance for average scores among racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates and BSAT or MSAT program types. Participants' open-ended survey responses and random sampling interviews identified themes for barriers faced, strategies used to overcome the barriers, and factors that attracted and retained the participants in their professional athletic training program. Examples of themes included a cultural disconnect, isolation, self-determination, and supportive peers and faculty.

This study was designed to examine the factors that contribute to student persistence into athletic training education programs (ATEPs). The researcher also gauged prospective athletic training students' perceptions on experiences that contributed to their decision to either apply or not apply to ATEPs. -- Invited study participants included all freshmen prospective athletic training students who were enrolled in the Athletic Training Introductory course/s at three participating CAATE-accredited ATEPs with a secondary admissions process occurring in the fall. Contact persons from each ATEP were e-mailed a study introduction letter and asked to e-mail a student letter with a survey link to students in introductory course/s. The researcher merged two retention theories and developed a survey to gather data with regards to how program attributes, social, academic, clinical integration, and program commitment affect student persistence. Additionally, the survey included demographic items. The researcher also conducted semi-structured interviews with contact persons from each ATEP and gathered institution demographics, program demographics, and program attributes. Mann Whitney U tests were conducted to determine if differences among group responses existed. Spearman Rho correlation analyses were utilized to determine relationships between each independent variable (i.e., academic, social, clinical integration, program attributes, and program commitment) and each group (i.e., persisters and non-persisters). Establishing correlation significance allowed for the application of Binary Logistic Regression analysis to seek predictive variables. All qualitative responses provided in the survey data were coded utilizing an interpretive method of data coding. Overall descriptive statistics were computed on all survey items. -- With the results of this study, it was established that both a difference and relationship existed between each group and student persistence with Mann Whitney U and Spearman Rho correlations demonstrating significant results. Binary Logistic regression analysis did not yield predictive variables. The greatest correlation existed between program commitment and persistence. These findings suggested that strong program commitment is more influential in persistence than other variables. Qualitative results revealed that persisters and non-persisters manage the pre-application period differently, resulting in either persistence or non-persistence. Additionally, the rapport between athletes and athletic trainers serving as preceptors, the relationships between prospective athletic training students and athletic training students, and the mentorship displayed by athletic training students were all contributors to persistence.

Athletic training is an allied health profession in which individuals receive education in prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnoses, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation for injuries and medical conditions. Currently, the route for an individual to become a certified athletic trainer is to graduate from an institution accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. Most commonly, entry level education for athletic trainers is gained at the 331 institutions that host a bachelors level professional program. However, there is a recent desire to change the educational requirements and to require a professional masters degree. If the degree change would occur, athletic training would have a stronger alignment with other health care professions and support the increasing knowledge base needed for certified athletic trainers. If a degree change is mandated, there is the potential for significant programmatic changes at the institutions which currently host baccalaureate athletic training programs. Program development is influenced by many factors within the institution and also external factors. The purpose of this research was to examine which of those factors have influenced the development of six current entry level masters athletic training program. Using a multiple case study design, 11 individuals were interviewed on the processes and influences that impacted the creation of the CAATE accredited entry level masters athletic training programs. Although each institution had a unique journey in the development of their professional masters program, the most common influential factors on the development of these programs were institutional support, faculty load and structure, resources, graduate work expectation, and accrediting agencies. This research helps to provide a guiding framework for a substantive degree change and can help institutions navigate through the process of changing degree requirements.
