Clinical Education

Students participate in clinical education in the MSAT program over five semesters at approved clinical affiliates starting in the fall term of the student’s first year in the program. Each semester athletic training students enroll in a practicum course for 2 to 10 credits, depending on their semester in the program. These clinical educational experiences enable athletic training students to integrate psychomotor skills within patient care and apply athletic training skills under the supervision of a preceptor. Students will benefit from direct supervision by a preceptor and the opportunity for on-going feedback and guidance.

Additional Certifications 

Our program is committed to supporting professional growth and learning and enabling students to be competitive candidates when seeking employment.  During their time in the program, students will have the opportunity to obtain certifications beyond what is offered in the curriculum.  Courses we have hosted include HawkGrips (IASTM), Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and Myofascial Decompression (cup therapy).  Our goal is to offer one additional certification course each semester with the flexibility to adjust offerings based on professional relevance and student interest.
