The Sports Medicine/Physical Therapy program is designed to provide our students with a rigorous and advanced curriculum in anatomy and physiology, health science, and career-specific skills that will prepare them to pursue a career in whatever medical discipline they choose after graduation. Students will learn in a simulated lab setting that prepares them to enter a clinical setting in their senior year to complete an internship. During their years in the program, the students will have the opportunity to be certified in OSHA and American Heart Association Healthcare Provider Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
