The Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will prepare students with the skills necessary to succeed as an entry-level athletic trainer. Athletic training is the paramedical specialization associated with the prevention, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and illnesses to athletes and the physically active under the direct
supervision of a physician. The athletic trainer serves as a liaison between the physician, other health care specialists, coaching staff, parents, and administrators. Athletic trainers must have a thorough knowledge of anatomy, physiology, psychology, nutrition, hygiene, therapeutic modalities, taping, conditioning, causes and prevention of injury, evaluation and rehabilitation techniques. The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) at Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) is primarily responsible for the education of athletic training students. In addition, the CUW ATEP provides health care to all student athletes participating in Concordia University Wisconsin intercollegiate athletic programs, the general student population, faculty, and staff.
