Athletic Training
Athletic Training is a specialization of sports medicine; an implementation of injury prevention, emergency care, and rehabilitative procedures; an individual that assumes responsibility for overseeing the total health care for the athlete. Athletic training provides a major link between the sports program and the medical community.
The mission of the athletic training program is threefold. First, is to develop the student into an educated and experienced professional in the field of athletic training. The program will prepare the student for BOC certification as an athletic trainer and for entry into health related graduate programs. The program will provide, through a liberal arts based education, the didactic and clinical experiences required and set forth by CAATE. Second, is to provide the highest quality in health care involving prevention, recognition, management, referral, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for the student -athletes participating in CMU's intercollegiate athletic programs. Third, is to develop and encourage a philosophy of sport that places a high value on character, health and wellness.
