As part of your degree program, you will be mentored through a variety of clinical experiences - delivering health care for sport teams at practices and competitions, and providing coverage in AT clinics. These clinical experiences are purposefully designed to be progressive in what each student is “entrusted” to do. In other words, the more you learn, the more you are allowed to do in clinical practice! Your rotations will culminate with a 6-week, fully immersive clinical experience.

AT students gradually become more responsible for evaluating and treating athletes throughout the recovery process. In collaboration with their preceptors, students design and implement rehabilitation programs for their patients. Students also take on the responsibility for communicating with other health care professionals, coaches, and stakeholders on patient status and progress.

Please note: all students are required to purchase liability insurance through Ithaca College. The cost for this is approximately $15 and is billed through student financial services.
