This program emphasizes a proactive approach to efficient and effective clinical management of injuries and medical conditions within a sports medicine and orthopaedic clinic environment. We seek to establish a foundation of excellence for certified athletic trainers who seek to be employed within the physician practice setting or outreach athletic training setting.

  • Advance the athletic trainer's communication skills and clinical decision-making skills within Orthopaedics.
  • Advance the athletic trainer’s return to play decision-making skills and practice within the outreach setting.
  • To participate as part of the interdisciplinary care team, optimizing the quality of care provided to patients and the community.
  • To incorporate the AT resident into the operating room environment, teach the role of surgical first assist, and pre- and post-operative patient care.
  • To expose and allow the AT resident to participate in outcomes-based research within an orthopaedic setting.
