BYU Athletic Training Education Program

Visiting Team Services

 

 

At Brigham Young University the sports medicine staff plays an integral role in student athletes’ daily care and success. The primary goal of the BYU sports medicine department is to keep athletes healthy and prepared for practice and competition by reducing their susceptibility to injuries.

Athletic trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. (NATA 2000) In addition to certified athletic trainers, the sports medicine department is comprised of physical therapists, team physicians, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors and a variety of other medical specialists.

BYU also has one of the earliest established educational athletic training programs. This program allows future athletic training students to be educated by current staff and serve as mentors as they work, learn and develop as clinicians.
