Notre Dame offers Sports Medicine and Advanced Sports Medicine courses that allow students to gain hands-on experience both in the classroom and on the sidelines. Students develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to become athletic trainers while working directly with student-athletes.

Notre Dame Sports Medicine is equipped with advanced rehabilitation equipment, providing student-athletes with the resources they need to recover, prevent injuries, and perform at their best.
