Context: Study abroad programs are a key educational opportunity for athletic training students to grow in cultural competence. Yet, there are few faculty-led, study abroad programs specifically designed for athletic training community engagement in low-income nations. Objective: To describe the process of developing and implementing a short-term athletic training and public health service-learning study abroad program to Nicaragua. Background: Partnerships with a Nicaraguan partner institution aimed at creating sustainable study abroad programs for students from a variety of disciplines were initially explored. A short-term, study abroad program with athletic training and public health faculty was established based on the opportunities and benefits that it would provide to students, interests of host staff, and the accessibility to a local community. Synthesis: Nine athletic training and exercise science students, composed mostly of graduate students, participated in the program in Nicaragua. Students worked with local soccer coaches and their student-athletes. Curriculum for the coaches included basic athletic injury prevention and management techniques including the Federation Internationale de Football Association 11+ injury prevention protocol, concussions and head injury, heat illness and hydration management, nutrition and performance, and basic first aid. With the student-athletes, the group implemented injury prevention skills including the Federation Internationale de Football Association 11+, proper heading techniques, and teamwork drills. Results: Working with the Nicaraguan soccer players and coaches provided students important lessons in cultural competence, interprofessional education, communication, and patient care. Recommendation(s): As athletic training education shifts to a professional master's degree, it is important for educators to consider study abroad program length, structure, and student learning outcomes if they are interested in creating faculty-led programs. Conclusion(s): Athletic training study abroad programs, which provide students with opportunities for direct interaction with coaches and student-athletes, can provide students with beneficial learning opportunities. This program can offer a framework for those interested in offering short-term programs abroad.
