Now it’s time to highlight our second years as they begin their final fall semester in the program!

We asked our MSAT Class of 2027 students to share a little about themselves as they kick off another exciting year full of clinical learning and hands-on experience.

Our students had an opportunity to work alongside UB medical, dental, and pharmacy students while giving back to our community this summer. Together with Lighthouse Free Medical Clinic, we provided free school and sports physicals to 100 community members in just two days!

In addition to the free physicals, we also educated community members about hands-only CPR, dental health, medications, asthma, and allergies.

Collaborating with students from different health care specialties is a valuable way to strengthen our students’ clinical skills and practice working with a team. Great job to all!

Dr K and Dr Sarah had the opportunity to not only check out how the Buffalo Bills are looking, but catch up with alumni and current 2nd year MSAT students at training camp this summer. We couldn’t be more proud of alumni Mike Micca 22’ in his role as Director of Rehab/Senior Assistant Athletic Trainer, and Darion Fredrick 26’ Seasonal Intern Athletic Trainer as well as our current 2nd year MSAT students Sydney Anderson, Chris Kienle and Corinne Wilson for keeping the Buffalo Bills healthy 🤘🦬!

MSAT Summer Recap Part 1!

A huge thank you to Danielle Beck and Mikala McCartney from for guest lecturing in ES 508! This course, taken by all first-year students, emphasizes the roles of the athletic trainer in a global healthcare system using evidence-based practice to develop clinical reasoning skills in prophylactic taping, bracing and preventative measures.

We are so grateful to our community of healthcare educators who dedicate their time to helping our students develop their knowledge and skills! 🦬
