Clinical Experience Sites
Each semester students in the athletic training program are assigned to a new clinical experience site. Athletic training students will be exposed to a variety of clinical practice settings such as college, high school, industrial, performing arts, physician practice, and/or rehabilitation clinics. Clinical experiences will have varied patient populations including patients throughout a lifespan, of different sexes, different socioeconomic status, of varying levels of activity and athletic ability, and those who participate in non-sport activities. The list below shows both current and past sites.
