Portfolio Development for Athletic Training Students   

Information as a PDF with "Proficiency Checklist"

What is a portfolio?

A working portfolio will be kept in the Clinical Coordinator’s office throughout your duration as a student in the ATEP; the portfolio is documentation of your “learning over time.”  It contains a compilation of materials that reflect both the process and products of experiences during the athletic training education program.  The portfolio includes artifacts (samples of work) that demonstrate your progress throughout the educational experience and provide evidence of your competency and proficiency as you move into the profession of athletic training.  The Clinical Coordinator will be primarily responsible for obtaining and organizing your portfolio items.  Items in your portfolio include but are not limited to: a personal profile, first and second checksheets,  clinical field evaluations, reflective journal writings, a compiled record of your clinical hours experience, and select artifacts from your courses within the ATEP (see sample course artifacts listed below). 

Your responsibilities include:

Composing your personal profile and updating it each fall,  current CPR card by each spring, accurately recording and compiling your hours (see guidelines below), choosing significant coursework artifacts to include in the working portfolio, and evaluating your portfolio at the conclusion of each semester.  Failure to submit required materials or to complete the evaluation before the last day of finals of each semester may result in a NO PASS grade in the clinical course and placement on clinical probation

Each portfolio must have some common elements.  Your portfolio must contain:

• A personal profile that reflects your current level of development within the athletic training professional preparation. This should be updated each Spring semester. 
• Artifacts (samples of work) from courses (see sample artifacts below)
• Completed proficiency check sheets- ACI
• Completed field experience evaluation forms (self and CI)
• Yearly updated CPR card
• Compilation of your clinical hours (see guidelines below)
• Other:  Any additional work from classes, field experience, professional conferences attended, professional presentations given, surgeries observed, etc.
