"I really enjoyed being a part of the 17�Թ� Sports Medicine Program. I got great hands on experience with a variety of sports including football, soccer, and basketball. I learned about different taping techniques for injury prevention and orthopedic evaluations that prepared me well for my entry-level graduate athletic training program. This program is a great introduction for those that want to pursue a career in sports medicine or other healthcare field. I made great friends and really felt part of a family while at 17�Թ�. I'd do it again in a heart beat. I really encourage anyone who is interested in a healthcare career to check it out." ~ Ann Sbardellati

student "Being in the program at 17�Թ� helped me gain a number of important skills to being successful and going onto the athletic training program at San Diego State. Leaving 17�Թ� I felt knowledgeable, confident, and most importantly prepared to be working at the division 1 level. 17�Թ� has allowed me to work hands on for practices, games, prevention, and rehabilitation ensuring I have the proper skill set to advance. I learned how to use various modalities and different therapeutic exercises that have helped me be able to run rehabilitation for injured and post-operative athletes. I am so thankful that 17�Թ� gave me the foundation and skill set I need to be successful at the next level of athletic training." ~Luiza Arutjunian, ATC

"Experiences I had while in the sports medicine program helped me gain skills and knowledge to prepare for the next stage and later for a career in athletic training. The program combines classroom and clinical experience and we, as sports medicine students were in high demand for exciting clinical internships. The hands-on experience definitely prepared me for an accredited athletic training program at a 4-year college. All the faculties in the department treated me with the same respect that they would expect for themselves and I developed close relationship with them as mentors. Experiences I had through the program fueled my growing passion for athletic training and it will put you on the path of the wide range of career options." ~Haruka Sakauchi, ATC
