Advancing Athletic Medicine Through Education & Research

Instructors knew you more than just an attendance number…you could tell they enjoyed what they were doing and were passionate about it. It was nice to call Kinesiology home.

The athletic training team at Michigan is one of the largest and most diverse in terms of skill set and experience in the country. I knew I was going to get a great education. It was the clinical experiences where I had the most on-the-job training and gained a variety of exposures to different techniques.

In our profession, athletic training relationships – who you know, and who you network with – is very important. Even as students, [U-M] provided us a great network for learning and getting to meet new people in the state and across the country.

Kinesiology’s Athletic Training degree is unique as to how it prepares us for our route after graduation because it is such a hands-on program. It is so skill-based that if you want to do something in the fields of sports medicine, athletic training, or medicine in general, it’s a really amazing preparation because it all starts as soon as you step on campus.
