Context. Athletic training clinical education has gone through reform since the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) has become the accrediting body of the profession. The amount of time that an undergraduate athletic training student has in the clinical education setting is very valuable to their development as a certified athletic trainer (ATC) and possibly as an approved clinical instructor (ACI). Therefore, the preparedness of the approved clinical instructor is very crucial. Objective. The purpose of the study is to determine the perceived preparedness of graduate assistant novice ACIs in the supervision of undergraduate ATSs in clinical education. Design. The design of the study was a prospective descriptive analysis, through use of a questionnaire to determine the preparedness of graduate assistant novice approved clinical instructors at twenty-seven CAATE accredited undergraduate athletic training programs that have been accredited for five or more years. Setting. Twenty-seven CAATE programs that have been accredited for five or more years. Participants. This study included thirty-three novice approved clinical instructors. This was a sample of convenience based on the twenty-seven CAATE institutions that agreed to participate in the study. Participants included in this study were graduate assistant ACIs at an institution that has a CAATE accredited undergraduate athletic training education program for five years or more and be a graduate assistant ATC that has one year of clinical experience and attended a ACI training workshop at their institution. The participant must also have the responsibility of supervising and evaluating ATSs. The participants that will be excluded are those institutions who do not have graduate assistant ATCs supervising undergraduate ATSs, a CAATE undergraduate accredited athletic training education program (ATEP) for under five years, and if the position is a one year internship. Participants were excluded if the ACIs at the above mentioned institutions are not considered to be a novice graduate assistant ACIs according to the definition of the study. Intervention. The undergraduate program director received an email asking if their institution was willing to participate in the study. Once confirmation of willingness to participate was received, then an initial cover letter with the link to the questionnaire was e-mailed to the program director to forward to the participants to complete. After a two week period, a second cover letter that included the link to the questionnaire was e-mailed encouraging participants to complete the questionnaire if they had not already done so. Main Outcome Measures. Based on the responses the graduate assistant novice ACIs will feel that they were prepared to supervise athletic training students in the clinical setting. Based on the responses the graduate assistant novice ACIs will feel that the ACI training workshop prepared them in their first year as an ACI. Results. Of the 178 initial e-mails sent out, 27…
