The School: Meeting Your Expectations

Our approach combines traditional coursework with rigorous research requirements, challenging students to put in their best work. You’ll learn the foundations of sports medicine alongside the latest advancements in science and technique, all while benefiting from experience in a clinical setting.

Build connections between coursework and clinical experiences from the very beginning of your program. You’ll begin making a difference immediately.

Commitment to Research As a part of our graduation requirements, each student is required to be a part of the planning, development, implementation, and completion of an original research project. This project can be the result of a group effort with the classmates in your cohort and will be guided by an existing program faculty member.
