Athletic training

Competition can include injuries. As an athletic trainer, you’ll be one of the first on the scene, quickly assessing the injury and either providing immediate care or referring the athlete to a physician. The goal, of course, is a fast—and safe—return to play.

Accreditation

Northwestern’s athletic training program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Northwestern graduates who have taken the Board of Certification examination for athletic trainers have proven the excellence of our program with their 100% pass rate since 2007.
