Defining and Demonstrating Contemporary Expertise in Professional Education (Educators & Preceptors Session #4A)
Contemporary expertise is described within the CAATE’s 2020 Professional standards is the “knowledge and training of current concepts and best practices in routine areas of athletic training”. The addition of the terminology “contemporary expertise” to CAATE 2020 Professional Standards provides the program an opportunity to assess the rationale for didactic and clinical teaching choices. Educators provide content knowledge and models of expert thinking, which are both critical for a student’s development from novice to competent, entry-level practitioner. Therefore, faculty and preceptor educators should strive to have contemporary expertise within one or more of the routine areas of athletic training related to teaching and/or clinical practice duties. The purpose of this session is to provide context for the meaning of contemporary expertise as it relates to the CAATE’s 2020 Professional Program Standards. More specifically, I will describe the role that contemporary expertise plays in faculty and preceptor development. In addition, I will also provide examples on how a program can effectively assess and demonstrate the contemporary expertise of their faculty and preceptors.
