Sports Medicine Students Work with Area ATs
Students in Sports Medicine II have been participating in IVVC’s Work-Based Learning program with area Certified Athletic Trainers. Athletic Trainers (ATs) from Yorkville, Sandwich, Plano, and Newark High schools host students who join them at practices and games. Beginning with the fall season, students were able to be on the sidelines of football, volleyball, and soccer. This winter, students are working with wrestling and basketball.
Here are some comments from students about their second year of IVVC:
“My internship is my favorite part of Sports Med II.” Emily G. (Sandwich)
“My favorite part of SM II is going to Aurora University, seeing their Athletic Training room and the synthetic cadaver lab.” Jenna K. (Sandwich)
“The best part has been getting the chance to work with ATs and see injuries.” Bri K. (Yorkville)
“I like working with all the different athletes.” Mitch M. (Yorkville)
“My favorite things about SM II are doing my internship and helping the first-year students.” Eric P.(Plano)
“I’ve enjoyed becoming friends with the whole class and getting to be more of a leader.” Jayden B. (Sandwich)
