As an ATEP, is it standard for your athletic training students
to adhere to a fraternization policy? If so, would you mind sharing it?
As an ATEP at CMU, we have “ridden the fence̶1; in
regards to implementing a policy. Should a policy be a reporting of so that
the student is not placed at that sport due to a conflict of interest? How do
you define fraternization? Is a serious relationship acceptable and dating is
not? For example, we currently have an ATS who is married. Her husband is a
student-athlete at another institution. If he was an athlete here and we had a
policy, would this prevent her from our program? Or should a policy be made
and have a clause that certain cases will be decided individually?
Thank you in advance for your insight.

The most essential part of a student's
instruction is obtained...
not in the lecture-room, but at the
bedside. Nothing seen there is lost;
the rhythms of disease are learned by
frequent repetition;
its unforeseen occurences stamp themselves indelibly in the
memory.
