Who We Are
The USF Master of Science in Athletic Training program prepares students for successful careers as athletic trainers — educated and experienced in managing sports-related health-care problems.
Students undergo an intensive six-semester, 24-month program with clinical experiences included throughout the curriculum. All clinical experiences include immersive periods where students have no didactic responsibilities for weeks at a time and are fully integrated into their assigned clinical settings for that rotation.
Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education, the program’s graduates have enjoyed successful careers as athletic trainers in secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional sports programs, sports medicine clinics and other athletic health-care settings.
What We Do
The Athletic Training Sideline Pack Campaign provides students entering their first clinical placements this summer with alumnus-designed athletic training medical sideline bags. This year, the students will receive three items from Nexus Sports Medicine: the Nemesis crossbody bag, FireFly hip pouch and a Scissor pouch. The Nemesis and FireFly will allow for fast and easy access to essential tools, such as first aid supplies. With these essential sports medicine sideline packs, students will be ready for the rigorous training they’ll receive during their clinical experiences.
Your Impact
By supplying students with essential sports medicine sideline packs for use during the athletic training program, you equip them for success, both as students and professionals, as they carry out important work on the field.

What Your Generosity Will Do
Inspire the Class of 2026 by sponsoring their athletic training sideline packs. These sports medicine products are designed by USF Alumnus Jay Ostia, MS Advanced AT ’19, and were created to change the game for athletic trainers and improve their treatment-in-action.
