Education

Our AT Fellows hone their knowledge and skills through an intensive advanced practices in athletic training clinical education program, secondary school/community college clinical assignment, and enrollment in a master’s or doctoral program through one of our higher education partners (Concordia University Chicago, Concordia University St. Paul, Rocky Mountain University, St. Francis College)

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

Job Shadowing

During the time that the fellowship participants are not working with the schools, they are granted the opportunity of shadowing professional physicians. They will be paired with an orthopedic surgeon and participate in the surgeon’s rounds. Doctors will train the fellowship participants, who will assume a role very much like a physician extender.

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