Attitudes and Prevalence of Evidence-based Practice in Undergraduate Athletic Training Education Programs

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been adopted from medicine and has emerged among the various health professions and is regarded as the best approach to ensuring accurate and meaningful patient care. Previous authors have recommended the need for EBP education at the undergraduate level in athletic training education programs (ATEPs) and since that time the 5th edition educational competencies have been released and now require programs to include EBP instruction within the program.
