School of Athletic Training
From the Field to the Clinic: Athletic Training at Spalding
The Spalding University School of Athletic Training prepares practitioners to promote injury prevention and provide healing. Our program prepares athletic trainers to enter a variety of settings, from professional sports to schools to hospitals. Gain hands-on experience with our broad network of community partners and regular fieldwork opportunities.
Available Programs
I hope students leave the MSAT program with a deep sense of confidence in their clinical decision-making, grounded in evidence-based practices and critical thinking. Beyond technical skills, I want them to embrace the importance of empathy, adaptability and lifelong learning in their professional lives. I aim for students to recognize the value of self-reflection in personal growth and to cultivate a commitment to advocating for their patients and the broader athletic training profession. These lessons will not only prepare them to succeed in their careers but also empower them to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
