with supervised clinical experiences in a variety of athletic training
settings. Descriptions of the facilities utilized in the ATEP can be
found below.
Campus Athletic Training Facilities
McClain Sports Medicine Center
The McClain athletic training room is the main athletic training facility
on campus. It is used by all the varsity sports in the morning and in
the afternoon it becomes primarily a football and track facility. It
houses the office of the Head Athletic Trainer, the offices of the assistant
and graduate assistant athletic trainers, and an insurance coordinator.
The McClain facility contains two doctor's offices one used primarily
by general medicine physicians and the other by the orthopedic physicians.
The training room is situated between the main weight room and the football
locker room, and is constructed to ensure easy traffic flow. The taping
area includes a long taping counter, four taping tables, and a wound
care station. The taping area is separated from the rest of the room
by the athletic trainers' offices. The remainder of the facility is
used as the rehabilitation/treatment area, and includes a hydrotherapy
room and rehabilitation pool.

room is a fully functional facility that primarily serves the men's
and women's basketball and hockey teams. It is located near locker room
facilities to allow easy access for men and women athletes. The room
contains areas for taping, treatment, rehabilitation, and hydrotherapy
and storage. A private examination room is available for use by primary
care and orthopedic physicians. There is also an office area for staff
athletic trainers and a locker room facility within the athletic training

providing care for the interscholastic athlete. Although they are small,
each high school has adequate athletic training rooms that offer a co-educational
environment. Taping tables, treatment and exam tables, and basic modalities
are common to each setting.
