Anchored in the Mercyhurst tradition of excellence, the Master of Science in Athletic Training program combines foundational knowledge with contemporary evidence-based practices to mold future healthcare leaders. Engaging all levels of competitive athletes to military personnel, to the performance stage and the physician clinic, athletic trainers focus on guiding the physically active in injury prevention, treatment, and recovery. Through past four decades of educating aspiring future healthcare professionals, we recognize that it is not the initials after a name that define the work, but rather the impact a person will make during each patient interaction. Between hours of hands-on clinical experiences, classroom learning with state-of-the-art equipment, and faculty dedicated to development of the clinician and the person, our graduates are prepared to stride confidently forward into a dynamic professional future. The mission of the Professional Entry-level Master of Science in Athletic Training at Mercyhurst University is to prepare the student to become a successful BOC candidate and clinician outside of the Gates by combining the didactic, theoretical, and clinical evidence-based skills with the premise that every patient is an individual. In the spirit of the core values of the Sisters of Mercy and Mercyhurst University, MSAT students will be challenged to become self-aware, culturally competent, ethical healthcare professionals. The Mercyhurst University professional athletic training program aspires to offer an extensive academic and clinical experience with devoted faculty to ensure the professional and personal growth of each student pursuing BOC certification.
