As a senior athletic training student it is important to demonstrate professionalism. This prepare me for when I am in the work force. A way I demonstrate professionalism is by acting as a responsible student and acting as a rational person in the athletic training clinic. I believe it is important to treat my clinical hours and my school work as my job. While I know it is always different transitioning from school to clinical practice in the work force, I believe me treating school as a job prepares me to be better and have a smoother transition. It teaches me to have discipline and work the long hours needed to be an athletic trainer. Another way I model professionalism is by always speaking positively of athletic training. Athletic training is what I want my career and future to be. Being able to understanding athletic training to the fullest potential and speaking positively of the profession is a good way to show respect for the career. I also highly advocate for athletic training by telling everyone what athletic training is able to do, if they should see an athletic trainer if they are injured, and encouraging others too look for a career in athletic training.
I have been a mentor for younger students in the past. Here I showed them the ropes of the program and helped in the clinic and in the classroom as needed. The most recent thing I do as a role model and resource for other students is being a supplemental instructor for the applied anatomy and kinesiology class. I highly excelled in this class so it makes sense that I am able to help other in this more difficult class. I have found that I am a good teacher. I am able to explain concepts in many different ways for people to understand and I can often come up with tricks to remember ideas better. I am also able to adapt to many people’s different learning styles. I believe being a supplemental instructor gives me the ability to reach out to more students and show and example of what a good athletic training student should be like. It also gives me an opportunity to find the future of athletic training and hopefully set them up on a path for success.

This is where I do my weekly clinical blog assignment. There is either a prompt I am responding to, or I just talk about something exciting I saw during the week.
