This study aimed to identify student perceptions of readiness to practice based on the self-assessment and preceptor scores, as well as post-graduation feedback in relation to their achievement goal orientation and evaluation scores of clinical skills and professional and personal skills. Post-graduation feedback, obtained through open-ended survey questions related to student educational experiences, allowed for an understanding of students’ transition into professional practice. A mixed-methods approach was used. The Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (AGQ-R) was used to determine student achievement goal orientation. Assessment scores from students and preceptors were obtained through the ATrackTM system, and student perceptions of their educational experiences were received from open-ended survey questions. Analysis of the quantitative data demonstrated that there was no significance between student self-evaluations and preceptor evaluation scores collectively or categorically. Additionally, there were no significant relationships between student self-evaluations and achievement goal orientations collectively or categorically. Qualitatively, participants found that the pandemic of COVID-19, and the shortage of opportunities for real-life experiences resulted in a lack of exposure to authentic situations and hands-on practice limiting them for professional practice. Conversely, many of the participants felt the diverse clinical rotations and clinical practice and competencies led them to feel prepared for their transition to professional practice as certified athletic trainers.
