Context International topics in athletic training are gaining recognition. Particularly interesting are opportunities for athletic training students to gain international experiences and develop cultural competence through study abroad. However, little is known about current international experience opportunities for these students. Objective To identify international experience opportunities for athletic training students, investigate student and faculty participation, and describe characteristics of institutions and programs offering such experiences. Design Survey. Setting Online. Patients or Other Participants All directors of Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited professional athletic training programs were recruited. The response rate was 41.9% (163/389). Data Collection and Analysis An e-mail soliciting participation was sent in January 2019. The online survey had 4 sections: (1) questions about athletic training–related international experiences, (2) questions about discipline-related international experiences, (3) questions about athletic training faculty or student participation, and (4) demographic questions about the program or institution. Data were analyzed descriptively. The characteristics of programs offering athletic training–related international experiences were compared with programs offering discipline-related international experiences using χ2 tests for degree level, institution type, and athletic division. Results Twenty-nine programs (17.8%) offered athletic training–related international experiences and 68 programs (41.7%) offered discipline-related experiences. Private universities were more likely to offer an athletic training–related experience, and public universities more likely to offer a discipline-related experience (χ2 = 4.197, df = 1, P = .04). There were no other differences between institution types, program degree levels, or athletic divisions (all P > .05). Some programs reported no recent athletic training student (44%) or athletic training faculty (58%) participation in any international experience. Conclusions A minority of programs currently offer either athletic training–related or discipline-related international experiences. Characteristics of available programs vary widely. To keep pace with professional globalization, future work should identify ways to develop international experiences.

“…Faculty-Led programs assign a faculty member to lead the student cohort in both academic instruction and management of extra-curricular programming. This means the assigned faculty, not an IDSL, is responsible for managing the student experience outside the classroom (Davis & Spoljoric, 2019;Niehaus, Bryan, Nelson, & Brisco, 2020). Direct Enrollment, also known as full immersion, refers to when students are enrolled with a local university accredited by the host country, take classes predominantly in the local language with other local students, and receive support services from the local university's international office (Hendrickson, 2016).…”

Objective: This scoping review will synthesize literature on mentorship programs for nurse educators who accompany nursing students on international placements to low-middle-income countries. Introduction: University nursing programs have been increasingly incorporating global health education into their curricula. Nurse educators play a significant role in the provision of international clinical experiences for nursing students by supporting and developing confidence and clinical competence. The contribution of nurse educators can affect a student's decision to remain in the profession, suggesting that providing quality professional development for nurse educators is a worthwhile investment. The challenges that come with this role require the development of a mentorship program for nurse educators who accompany nursing students on international placements to low-middle-income countries. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will include studies that consider mentorship programs for nurse educators who accompany nursing students on clinical placements in low-middle-income countries. This scoping review will consider experimental and quasi-experimental studies, qualitative studies, text and opinion papers, dissertations, theses, conference reports, and gray literature. Studies published within the previous 40 years will be included as a systematic approach to global education started in the early 1980s. Methods: Databases to be searched include MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (Ovid), Sociological Abstracts (ProQuest), and Global Health (Ovid). Following screening, all identified citations will be collated. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers. Potentially relevant studies will be retrieved in full and assessed for inclusion. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers and presented in diagrammatic or tabular format and accompanied by a narrative summary.
