The Athletic Training Division requires ALL current ATH TRNG 303 students and all students who have been accepted into the major to complete a training program in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.  Additionally, all students accepted into the major must also complete training in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Failure to complete this training by the posted deadlines will impact the student's eligibility for clinical placements.

OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Training (all AT majors & ATH TRNG 303 students)

Your OSHA Training Requirement depends on your year in the program:

AT 303 Students

• View the online education module from the Office of Environmental and Health Services and take the test at the end (or choose to test out)
  • Choose the blood borne pathogen training module from the list. You will go to a registration / sign-in page.
  • you will need to register an account with OEHS on this website to take the training and you will receive a confirmatory email once you do. 
  • Once registered, go to training and complete the bloodborne pathogen training and take the test.
• Submit a printed copy of the completion certificate to the AT Division office (to Becca Roby in Atwell 228H).

 CPR, AED, & First-Aid Training (AT majors only, NOT ATH TRNG 303 students)

ALL students enrolled in the AT major MUST be certified in Professional Rescuer / Healthcare Provider CPR and also be seperately certified in First-Aid at all times in clinical rotations.  We recommend that obtain/update your certification EACH SUMMER so that you remain current throughout the academic year.  If your Certification lapses, you will be immediately removed from clinicals and this will impact your clinical grade.

For CPR & AED: We only accept certification that involves in-person demonstration of skills (no online only certifications for CPR / AED).  CPR must be 2 rescuer for adults, children, and infants and must include bag valve masks. Regular Adult CPR does not meet the requirement.

For FIRST-AID: We prefer classroom courses, but we will accept online courses that issue a certification card or certificate (currently American Red Cross or National Safety Council).

DEADLINES: Documentation of certification that will last through the entire academic year must be received in the AT Office prior to your clinical start date each year. Documentation can be photocopies of cards (both sides) or a letter/certificate from the instructor documenting the course and the dates.  There are several common ways to obtain this certification:

1. American Red Cross:
• FIRST-AID: Standard First-Aid (~$47) or online Basic First-Aid (~$50)
• CPR & AED: CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer (~$80)
2. American Heart Association:
• FIRST-AID: Heartsaver First-Aid (classroom or online).  NOTE: The online first aid course from AHA also requires an in-person skills check before they will issue you a card. 
• CPR & AED: BLS Healthcare Provider
3. Ohio State University:
• FIRST-AID: EDUPAES 102
• CPR & AED: Allied Med 200 (NOTE: the EDUPAES 122 CPR course is not professional rescuer CPR and is not acceptable)
4. National Safety Council
• FIRST-AID:We will accept the NSC online "standard first-aid, CPR & AED" course as counting for FIRST-AID only and NOT for your CPR requirement!  If you use this course for our first-aid requirement, you will ALSO need a seperate "professional rescuer" level CPR course with an in-person skills demonstration.
• CPR & AED: NSC does not currently offer an acceptable CPR course (you need 2 person CPR). 
5. Other Groups:
• Any CPR certification MUST include in-person skill assessment. We will not accept any online CPR certifications that do not also include an in-person skills assessment.
• If you plan to obtain certification from any group other than ARC, AHA, OSU, or NSC (first aid only), you should contact Dr. Merrick to discuss your plan BEFORE you spend any money.  The AT Division is not responsible if you waste money on an invalid certification that you have not discussed with us ahead of time.

 OSU Medical Center ID Badges
