Education

Our Athletic Training Residents and Fellows hone their knowledge and skills through intensive advanced practices in athletic training clinical education programming and secondary school/community college clinical assignments. Athletic Training Fellows will enroll in a master’s or doctoral program through one of our higher education partners (Concordia University Chicago, Concordia University St. Paul). The degree programs are two and four academic years with coursework being offered completely online. Residents will select an emphasis track upon application and acceptance into the program.

All Residents and Fellows must be BOC certified and licensed within the state of Missouri before independent clinical appointment.

Advanced Experience

During the time that the Residents and Fellows are not working with the schools, they are working on-site with one of our professional partners specific to the residency track selected or fellowship emphasis. They will be paired with orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, registered dieticians, sports psychologists, and healthcare administrators and participate in the day-to-day operations focusing on their experimental development and practical application.

The professionals that work with our program are an excellent source of practical education in the sports medicine field. Participants will gain a much deeper understanding of the sports medicine field. The professionals we work with are committed to creating an environment that is supportive and contributes to experiential learning.
