Overview

About the program

The Professional MSAT program provides students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be a certified athletic trainer. The full-time, two-year program provides students with a didactic and clinical curriculum that addresses the professional education standards as established by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students are prepared to become evidence-based health care professionals through a combination of classroom, clinical education, and research experiences.

The program at the University of Connecticut is unrivaled in its ability to expose students to diversified clinical education experiences with a focus in intercollegiate athletics, non-traditional settings, three clinical immersive experiences and provides students the opportunity to learn from experts in the fields of qualitative research, sport safety, and many others. Students gain first hand experience and work closely with program faculty, not only in the classroom and clinical settings but also in our research labs in the Korey Stringer Institute's (KSI) mission heat lab, and in musculoskeletal injury prevention and rehabilitation via the Sport Optimization and Rehabilitation (SOAR) lab.

The UConn Athletic Training and Physical Therapy Programs are collaboratively aligned within the Department of Kinesiology, affording students the unique aspect of interdisciplinary heath care education. Students work together with other health care disciplines starting in their first semester.

The vision of the Professional Athletic Training Program at the University of Connecticut is to provide the student a dynamic and engaging learning environment that supports the growth and professional development necessary to excel within the field of athletic training.

The mission of the Professional Athletic Training Program at the University of Connecticut is to provide our students with a high-quality education that incorporates inter-professional learning opportunities, exposure to evidence-based practice and high-quality research, and diverse educational experiences. We will inspire our students to be advocates for the profession and to be life-long learners committed to the delivery of quality patient-centered care.
