Accreditation

The USF Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) at the University of South Florida College of Medicine is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). CAATE is the agency responsible for accreditation of entry level Athletic Training educational programs. CAATE is sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), and the National Athletic Trainers' Association, Inc. (NATA).

Since October 2003, our program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). The program was granted the maximum 5 year initial accreditation. Now regulated by CAATE, the ATEP has submitted an application and self-study for re-accreditation and is looking forward to a site-visit during the spring of 2009.
