Athletic Training Careers and Internships
Clinical Experience
During their undergraduate experience, students in the athletic training major can expect to complete clinical experience under the direct supervision of Board of Certification-certified and Massachusetts licensed athletic trainers. This clinical experience is sequenced to facilitate learning of the theoretical and clinical competencies and problem-solving skills needed by the athletic trainer. The supervised clinical experiences take place in Springfield College athletic training rooms, as well as in off-campus, approved affiliate settings, including high schools and colleges.
These hands-on opportunities lay the foundation for success as an athletic trainer upon graduation.
