Clinical Rotations Infractions Policy

As an athletic training student it is extremely important that you attend and participate in all of your clinical experiences. In order to conduct these experiences in a professional and orderly manner the athletic training student must abide by the policies and procedures as documented in the “Athletic Training Student Handbook”. Violations of these policies and procedures will result in the implementation of this “Infraction Policy”.

The Policy is based upon the following point system:
Mild = 1 point Moderate = 3 points Severe = 6 points

An athletic training student who accrues a total of six (6) points during the academic year will be dismissed from their clinical experience for a time period that is determined by the Head Athletic Trainer, the Program Director of Athletic Training Education, and the head of the Division of Kinesiology. During this time period the athletic training student will no longer be able to count clinical hours or check off on proficiencies. The athletic training rooms and affiliated sites will be off limits, travel with athletic teams will not be offered, and the student will be required to make up the deficient hours and proficiencies.

Upon accrual of twelve (12) points as an athletic training student within the athletic training education program at the University of Wyoming the athletic training student will be permanently dismissed from clinical rotations.

Upon accruing an infraction the athletic training student will be notified in writing within 48 hours of when the situation occurred. The athletic training student is then responsible for scheduling a meeting with the ACI/CI who wrote the infraction as well as the Athletic Training Education Program Director. These meetings must take place within one week from the date of the infraction. The original infraction notice and all correspondence will be kept in the student’s athletic training portfolio.
