Student Trainer Program

Huskie Athletics offers a volunteer Student Trainer Program. Students learn the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries.  Students interested in Physical, Athletic, Occupational, or Exercise Therapy can explore these careers while under the supervision of a Licensed Physiotherapist / Certified Athletic Therapist. 

Students are given the opportunity to assist in the Huskie Athletics Sport Health Centre at the PAC with athlete rehabilitation and exercise prescription.  They are assigned to a University sports team for a season to cover practices and games, both home and away.  Students also attend Student Trainer Seminars which cover such topics as injury prevention, acute injury management, assessment of sports injuries, rehabilitation principles, exercise prescription and current issues in sport science.  Student trainers also are eligible to apply for the Kin 421.6 Athlete Health Practicum.

Applications
Applications are available in January with a March 31 deadline for the upcoming athletic season.
