The degree programs are two and four academic years and the coursework is offered completely online. All of our fellowship participants must be BOC-eligible.

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.

Hands-On Experience

We are proud to offer extensive hands-on experience through our program. During the afternoon and evening hours, resident and fellowship participants are placed at schools and play an active role in the sports programs. They are the Head Athletic Trainer at their respective school. They are mentored and developed by the Athleticare Staff and Faculty as they navigate the transition to practice working through the clinical management of providing care for their respective student-athletes for all practices, games, and other sport-related events.

Residents and Fellowship participants can expect their experience to cover areas like strength and conditioning, physical therapy, sports injury assessment and prevention, nutrition, mental health, and rehabilitation. More importantly, participants will have the chance to be working directly and autonomously in their desired line of work and will be able to interact with students, coaches, administration, and parents along the way.
