Overview

The Athletic Training program at Pennsylvania Western University states that athletic trainers are healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventive care, emergency response and clinical examination and diagnosis of injuries, along with therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation services.

Students in Cal U's athletic trainer degree program develop clinical skills in areas such as casting, manual therapies, therapeutic interventions, pharmacology and advanced sports nutrition. They complete two cadaver dissection courses, which provide a foundational understanding of human anatomy.

Careers

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for certified athletic trainers is expected to grow as people become more aware of the effects of sports-related injuries and Americans remain active as they age.

Cal U graduates who are certified in athletic training may find employment in:

High schools, colleges or universities.

Professional sports franchises.

Clinics or physicians' offices.

Military or industrial settings.

Companies that provide assistive orthopedic devices.

Nontraditional settings such as performing arts, motocross or bull riding venues.
