In Their Words

The LVC Athletic Training program has one of the few cadaver labs in the state. The fact that I was able to see and touch the muscles and various body systems has helped me greatly now that I am working with patients and athletes.

It’s an exciting time, because we are seeing companies hiring athletic trainers to improve health outcomes. We see ATs in military settings, working with the FBI at Quantico, with companies, and at NASA.
