What is it like to care for athletes at one of the nation's most iconic road races?

One of our ODU MSAT students recently reflected on their experience at the Falmouth Road Race, sharing lessons learned, memorable moments, and how the experience contributed to their development as a future athletic trainer.

These opportunities challenge students to think critically, work as part of a healthcare team, and translate classroom learning into patient care.
