In Their Words

A Beautiful Flow
LVC offers undergraduate Athletic Training 3+2 students a beautiful flow of courses for studying human anatomy. Students take Anatomy & Physiology their first year, Human Movement their second year, Fundamentals of Anatomy their third year, and then spend 32 weeks in the cadaver lab their fourth year. This is a significant differentiator for among Athletic Training programs and sets students apart in their careers.
Dr. Eva Frank, director and associate professor of athletic training
Confidence
The clinical education coordinator placed me in environments where I was able to adapt my skills and thrive in interpersonal connection and confidence. The experiences nurtured my skills into what they are today, which has helped me succeed in my current position.
Tasia Dennis ’19, M’21, athletic trainer, Baylor College of Medicine
Mentorship
It has been a pleasure and an honor to be a preceptor for the Dutchmen. Since the opportunity from the first student four or five years ago to the present, I have enjoyed guiding, mentoring, and assisting the next generation of athletic trainers. I have met and worked with a dedicated staff and students. I believe I have grown as much as the students have with the preceptor opportunity.
