Erskine
Athletic Training Program Takes Step Toward
Accreditation
Dr. Gid Alston, Professor of Physical
Education and Health at Erskine, has announced that
Erskine's Athletic Training program has received
approval of its candidacy application for
accreditation from the Joint Review Committee on
Educational Programs in Athletic Training (JRC-AT).
“This approval was an important
step in our accreditation efforts,” said
Athletic Director Chip Sherer. “Jerry Shadbolt,
Curriculum Director for Athletic Training, Toby
Harkins, Head Athletic Trainer, and Andrew Petersen,
Assistant Athletic Trainer, have been doing great
work in our efforts to have our Athletic Training
program receive CAAHEP Accreditation.
“Now that we are official
candidates for accreditation, the real work
begins,” Sherer continued. “Jerry Shadbolt
is working hard to complete a lengthy self-study
document that he hopes to offer the JRC-AT by June 1,
2000. We hope to then have an accreditation site
visit during the fall of 2000.”
