Objective: To describe a pedagogical method using an Audience Response System (ARS), commonly referred to as “clickers,” for use in preparing athletic training students (ATSs) for the Board of Certification (BOC) exam. Background: The BOC is the only certifying agency for athletic trainers in the United States. ATSs may become a certified athletic trainer (AT) upon graduating from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredited Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) and successfully passing the BOC exam. In 2012, CAATE standards were revised to require programs to publish their graduates' recent exam scores on their website (in aggregate form). Description: Preparation for the BOC exam can be a monumental and stress-inducing task for the ATS due to the plethora of information to review. Most ATEPs include test preparation assistance within the curriculum. To date, a review of the literature revealed no published documentation of successful test preparation strategies. Clinical Advantages: The data collected from use of the ARS during BOC exam preparation can be a valuable tool in identifying domain areas in which an ATS may be deficient. In doing so, an ATS may redirect study time to focus on weaker concepts. Additionally this data, when trended, can provide invaluable programmatic information when used as part of a larger assessment plan. As part of the revised CAATE standards, programs are also required to meet or exceed a score of 70% for the first-time pass rate. As a result, there may be a heightened need for test preparation strategies. Conclusion: Athletic training educators seeking a pedagogical method for BOC exam preparation may benefit from the implementation of an ARS to increase ATS motivation and accountability. As an additional benefit, programmatic educational assessment data may also be collected.

The beginning of all growth studies in this country occurred less than a century ago when the Boston School Committee approved the following order permitting Henry Pickering Bowditch, Professor of Physiology at the Harvard Medical School, to measure and weigh children in the Boston public schools. This document is one of the great, and I believe little known, landmarks in modern pediatrics.1 In School Committee, March 9, 1875 Ordered, That permission be given to Prof. Henry P. Bowditch, of Harvard University, to ascertain the height and weight of the pupils attending the public school, through such an arrangement as the respective chairman and the headmaster, or masters, may deem most convenient.
