Athletic Training Clinical Education
Lasell University offers diverse clinical opportunities tailoring student experiences to their individual career goals. Students participate in five clinical experiences throughout the program. During the first year of the program, students are placed at a clinical site in the metro-Boston area. The following summer, students complete a clinical rotation in a non-sport setting locally or anywhere in the United States. The second year of the MSAT program is delivered on campus in the fall thus clinical experiences occur in the metro-Boston area. During the Spring semester courses are in an online/hybrid format allowing students enhanced flexibility to continue their clinical experiences and coursework at a distance. This model allows students to participate in a variety of athletic training practice settings. Over the 5 clinical courses, students have significant input in their clinical experience settings and work in conjunction with the Coordinator of Clinical Education to ensure successful clinical experiences.
During their clinical experiences, students provide real-time patient care. Clinical rotations are designed to allow students opportunities to integrate their athletic training knowledge and clinical skills in real-world settings. Each successive clinical allows for progressive responsibility and autonomy. Throughout the program, students are assigned to a variety of clinical sites, preceptors, and patient populations.
