Faculty, Staff & Medical Team

Collectively, the 7 academic and clinical professionals that makeup Ithaca College's Athletic Training Education program in the Department of Exercise & Sport Sciences represent well over 160 years of collective academic, professional and clinical experiences in athletic training and sports medicine that cover the gamut of related skills, knowledge and perspectives. Together, we have significant professional experiences at high schools, physical therapy clinics, sports performance domains, colleges and universities, and professional sports -- a combination that provides an unsurpassed advantage for preparing students to enter the myriad professional work settings available to athletic trainers today. Equally important, all athletic training faculty at Ithaca are fully committed to every aspect of our educational program and critical student development in both the didactic and clinical settings.

All 7 of our full time faculty/staff members teach the core athletic training classes, AND work as clinical instructors in order to ensure continuity, comprehensiveness and interactive clarity between the various aspects of the educational program. Additionally, both our team physicians teach classes, conduct injury round tables and evaluation clinics, and supervise our students during clinical experiences -- you'll get to know them quite well after 3 years of clinical involvement!

Additionally, the certified athletic trainers, graduate athletic trainers, and undergraduate athletic training students provide medical coverage for the 25 intercollegiate athletic programs at Ithaca College. IC's athletic programs have won multiple NCAA Division III national championships, and remain extremely competitive at the regional and national levels--so our students' clinical education is exciting, challenging, and rewarding.
