Our Medical Director, Dr. Amoo-Achampong, brought shoulder dislocations to life with an engaging session that combined clinical insight with hands-on experience.

The expanded Center for Healthcare Education is here—fueling the future of hands-on, high-impact learning. Proud to be part of a space where the next generation of athletic trainers will grow and lead.

“Care You Can Count On” means being ready when it matters most.

In our emergency care simulations, MSAT students practice rapid assessment, patient stabilization, and quick decision-making—preparing for any situation that comes their way.

This is how confidence is built. This is care you can count on.

March is National Athletic Training Month and this year’s theme is Care You Can Count On.

This annual celebration highlights the vital role athletic trainers play in keeping physically active individuals healthy, safe, and performing at their best.

In our MSAT program, we see “Care You Can Count On” in action every day in the classroom, in the clinic, and on the sidelines. Our students are preparing to deliver evidence-based, compassionate care that athletes, patients, and communities can rely on.

Here’s to the athletic trainers who make a difference and to the future ATs who are just getting started. 💙

Real training. Real pressure. Real impact. 💥
