AT Program Objectives

The athletic training faculty/staff has two primary objectives. One is to provide a quality education to all athletic training students within the AT Program and secondly to deliver a quality health care system to all student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics at Cumberland University. This health care includes prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and management of injuries or illnesses sustained during practices or games, as well as on-site coverage of practice and games. Educating includes formal classroom instruction, monitoring at clinical sites and mentoring all AT Students during their journey through the AT Program. As educators within the AT Program, we teach a curriculum that enhances the students’ cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains as related to responsibilities of an athletic trainer. In addition, the athletic training faculty/staff provides the necessary services to function as part of the University community.
