Pitt Athletic Training

Congratulations to MSAT student Maeve Bryant who recently took home the award of Best Original Research during the 50th Annual PATS Clinical Symposium and Meeting!

We are so proud to see Pitt AT Alumni, Kristen Matthis (AT '17) and Dr. Andrew Krueger (AT '14) teaming up for the Athletes at Virginia Tech. Kristin is heading into her 8th year at Virginia Tech and currently coordinates all sports medicine needs for their softball team. As a physician, Andrew has returned back to his sports medicine roots and is working with the athletes at Virginia Tech as a physician!

Congratulations to the students enrolled in the MS in Athletic Training Program for earning a spot on the Dean’s List for the Spring 2026!

This weekend we celebrated an incredible group of individuals who have officially completed their MSAT degree!

After countless hours of coursework, clinical experiences, studying, and even a few puppy exercises along the way, this group has truly earned this moment. We couldn’t be more proud of all they’ve accomplished and the growth they’ve shown throughout their journey.

We will miss this group, but we can’t wait to continue celebrating them as they step into the next chapter of their personal and professional lives as alumni of the University of Pittsburgh Athletic Training Program. CONGRATULATIONS, graduates!

Shout out to our MSAT 2 students who completed their research presentation this afternoon!
