Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied health care profession. This curriculum is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

To obtain the clinical skills required of the curriculum, athletic training students will participate in a three year clinical rotation under the direct supervision of a Clinical Preceptor (CP).
