is where medicine meets movement and science meets action. As the first athletic
training program in the nation housed within a College of Medicine, USF prepares students
to provide exceptional care wherever the body is pushed to its limits — in sports,
in schools, in the military, in industry, the arts and every stage of life.
The program boasts exceptional outcomes, including a 100% board of certification pass
rate for the last two years, outstanding job placement and back-to back National Athletic
Training Association Quiz Bowl champions, a distinction achieved by no other program.



USF Athletic Training also offers four additional certifications at no cost:
- Stop the Bleed
- Mental Health First aid
- IV Therapy
- Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Hawk Grips)
The program emphasizes interprofessional collaboration and simulation in partnership with the and other USF Health programs, preparing graduates for leadership roles across all professional settings. Through team-based learning, students build the communication, clinical decision-making and collaborative skills necessary to excel in any health care environment.
