FGCU Alert

There is no emergency on campus. FGCU is hosting a Disaster Day Interprofessional Simulation Friday, November 15, at the Cohen Student Union and Recreation Field 1 with regional partners in the healthcare and public safety sectors. This is a drill – a simulation – where more than 300 students are learning how best to assess, diagnose, treat and care for patients in a high-pressure emergency scenario. Even though it may look and sound like an emergency during the training exercise, the “Disaster Day” is just another example of how FGCU is providing a transformative, learner-centered education to ensure our students are workforce ready.

Clinical Education

Clinical Education is an important part of the Athletic Training curriculum. It is the time for students to apply and expand the knowledge and skills they have learned in class. Clinical education represents the time when Athletic Training students will acquire, practice, and be evaluated on clinical proficiencies. Formal evaluation of the application and integration of clinical proficiencies are completed by a preceptor who also directly supervises the students.  Clinical education occurs in a minimum period of two academic years (5 semesters) and is associated with course credit.
