Student Athletic Training Program
The student athletic training program is an opportunity to experience a field of study in sports medicine. The program at Santa Barbara City College will teach and prepare the student athletic trainer to transfer into a related academic program for eventual transfer to the CAATE accredited Master’s program in Athletic Training.
The class associated with the program is PE290 Work Experience. This class can be taken 1-4 units. Each unit consists of 54 volunteer hours. The program teaches the 5 domains of athletic training. Each semester the volunteers vote for student athletic trainer of the semester. This award is for the most dedicated, hard working student. Also, at the end of each semester we have the athletic trainer olympics which is the highlight of the student’s volunteer time here.
