Due to the recent explosion in popularity of sports today, as well as the fact that when sports are played injuries are inevitable, doors have been opened for many students interested in sports medicine as well as many other medical fields. Niles North has a group of student athletic trainers that are a very important part of our athletic program. The sports medicine careers club provides opportunities for our students to help our athletes and learn about different medical professions while under the constant supervision of a Certified Athletic Trainer.
