1st Years (Sports Medicine 1) are double blocked in 4th & 8th Period
2nd Years (Sports Medicine 2) are placed in various athletic periods based on need and schedules
3rd & 4th Years (Sports Medicine 3 & 4) are placed in various athletic periods based on need and schedules
Student Aides work under the direct supervision of the Staff Athletic Trainer for extra-curricular sport activities. They are also enrolled in one of the above educational programs during the same time. Student aides ARE NOT staff members and cannot make clinical judgments, refer athletes, direct treatments or make return to play decisions. In the absence of a Staff Athletic Trainer the students are considered managers under the direction of the head coach of that prospective sport. At no time will a student act independently in athletic training services.
