Research Isn't Just for Researchers

🔬 Research at ODU MSAT isn't about becoming a researcher. It's about becoming a better clinician.

Our students engage in research experiences focused on topics such as emergency preparedness, sport-related concussion, chronic ankle instability, injury rehabilitation, and athletic training education.

By participating in research, students learn how evidence is generated, interpreted, and applied to patient care, helping them become evidence-based athletic trainers.

💙 Because the best clinicians know how to use evidence, not just follow it.

💙🏈 Sometimes you find more than a career... you find your people.

One of the best parts of the ODU MSAT experience is the friendships that develop along the way.

Recently, some of our second-year students spent their time off cheering on two of their classmates as their clinical sites faced off on game day. While they may have been wearing different colors on the sidelines, they're all part of the same ODU MSAT team.

From study sessions and clinical experiences to weekend road trips and game days, the relationships built in this program often last far beyond graduation.

👑 Here's to supporting each other, on and off the field.
