ATHLETIC TRAINING
Athletic training is an allied health profession dedicated to prevention, care, and rehabilitation of injuries in physically active people. Athletic trainers work with physicians and other members of the sports medicine team to help injured athletes return safely to their sports. The mission of our program is to provide students with the necessary academic and clinical background that will allow them to become certified by the Board of Certification (BOC) upon graduation. The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) at Shaw University is accredited by the Commission of Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Our program is one of only two accredited programs housed at HBCUs in the United States.
During this four-year program in athletic training, student participate in six practicum experiences, at Shaw University and affiliated sites area the area. This exposes students to a variety of health care professionals and diverse patient populations.
Students are responsible for additional fees to cover the
required CPR certification course.
