Success Stories

"I did Agoura's sports medicine program as an introduction to medicine and I was blown away. Everything we learned during the year has directly impacted my start in a medical career. I finished UCLA's EMT program, and everything I learned in sports medicine really put me ahead and taught me things I would have never known about injury, as well as lots of skills that aren't taught anywhere else. I recommend it to everybody- regardless of your career path. What you learn here could really help someone out one day. I'm now a neuroscience major going into my second year, and I hope to go to medical school." 

"Participating in AHS sports med has shaped me as a student and directed me towards my future. This class was incredibly fun and very insightful. Being an athlete myself, I connected with this class through aiding in treating athletes for injuries as well as helping them in their recovery process. Without this class, I would not have known about all the possibilities there are in the medical field." - Olivia MacMillan

"Sports medicine was an amazing class and I learned so much. It is a great class because of the interactions between students and athletes. This class helped me with choosing a career path in the medical field." - Mathilda MacMillan 

"This program led me to my decision to work towards physical therapy. It also provides me with incredible experiences where I learned valuable lessons that will benefit me in the future! Sports Med really helped me decide where I wanted to go in college. It helped me discover all the possibilities of the sports health profession."

*Intends to attend the Physical Therapy Graduate Program at Army-Baylor University. 

"KASMA was an incredible experience for me in high school and really helped solidify my interest in pursuing medicine. The program gave me extensive, hands-on opportunities to work with athletes and make a real difference in a medical setting. Likewise, KASMA taught me the basics of human science such as anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology which I still use in my medical journey today. KASMA was truly a foundational part of my path and I’m so grateful for the doors it’s opened for me."
