semesters. We provide 19 assistantships with stipends of $9150 and tuition support up to $23,125. We can boast maximum enrollment, with additional students without assistantships and a graduation rate of 80% (n=24/30; avg time to completion =22.4±4.5 months. Support for enrollment has increased 24% since our last self study. Current students and alumni have 29 published manuscripts/abstracts and/or presentations since 2009. NATA’s Post-Professional Education Review Committee (PPRC) conducted a site visit of Indiana State University’s program in Fall of 2009 when the program was under the supervision of Dr. Tim Demchak. The PPRC placed the program on provisional accreditation for a period of three years. The program faculty completed and submitted a rejoinder in response to the committee’s concerns in Spring of 2010. During that time, Dr. Susan Yeargin assumed the responsibilities of Program Director (PD). Curricular changes were warranted and we followed institutional procedures to make the necessary revisions, which were approved in Spring 2010 and then implemented in Fall 2010. Students graduating in 2011 were therefore completing the previous curriculum. Graduates of the Class of 2012 will be the first to complete the new curriculum. The Self Study Plan of Action began in February 2012. The committee members included: Dr. Susan Yeargin (outgoing PD), Dr. Lindsey Eberman (incoming PD), Dr. Leamor Kahanov (Department Chair), Dr. Tim Demchak (Past PD), Dr. Cat Paterson, Dr. Matt Gage, and Amber Northam. These members constitute the Athletic Training discipline subcommittee within the Department of Applied Medicine and Rehabilitation. Drs. Yeargin, Eberman and Kahanov collaborated to amalgamate data provided by all the members during the Spring 2012 semester. As per ISU Policy, we submitted the Self Study document for administrative review in May of 2012. At various locations in the process, administration made small revisions and suggestions which we complied with under the supervision of the new PD, Lindsey Eberman. We anticipate a site visit in Spring 2013. 5 6 GRADUATE ATHLETIC TRAINING EDUCATION PROGRAM INSTITUTIONAL DATA FORM 1.
