CPC Update – Enhancing Your Professional Development Journey

Traditional certification renewal models for Athletic Trainers emphasize compliance over meaningful, outcomes-oriented professional development. As the healthcare environment continues to evolve, there is a growing need for a certification renewal process that supports individualized learning, encourages reflective practice, and aligns with real-world clinical experiences. Many Athletic Trainers lack a structured yet flexible framework that helps them identify learning needs, set personal goals, and integrate evidence-based improvements into their daily practice.

Learning Objectives - Describe the structure and key components of the Continuing Professional Certification (CPC) renewal program, including the role of the Pathfinder platform.
- Summarize progress and insights gained from feedback and outcomes from early users and pilot participants that have informed the implementation of CPC.
- Explain how CPC supports individualized goal setting, reflective practice, and ongoing professional development for Athletic Trainers.
- Identify ways Athletic Trainers can engage with CPC to enhance clinical practice and integrate evidence-based learning into their renewal process
