“Mercer University's Master of Athletic Training program served as a great foundation for my sports medicine career as a clinical athletic trainer.

My first exposure to sports medicine was during this program with a variety of clinical sites including different levels of athletics and clinics.

The small cohort size paired with dedicated professors and preceptors allowed me to succeed in the program and as a professional.

The program prepared me professionally and academically; for example, I obtained an internship with the Atlanta Falcons immediately after I graduated, which provided additional experience before I became a full-time athletic trainer at the secondary school setting."
