  • Colleges/Universities/Industrial Settings
  • Secondary Schools/Hospitals
  • Professional Sports/Olympic Sports

  • Other settings that employ a certified athletic trainer

A segment of the clinical education experience must be directed towards a patient population having general medical ailments (eg, cardio-respiratory, metabolic).
