Student Worker Information
College of DuPage Athletic Training offers
individuals interested in athletic training the opportunity to work as
student-workers within the athletic training unit, expanding their
exposure to athletic injuries, technical skills, and self-confidence
while working under the supervision of two certified athletic trainers.
C.O.D. provides an athletic training student-worker the chance to stay involved in athletic training while completing general education requirements and athletic training specific classes for transfer into an accredited athletic training education program.
Being an athletic training student-worker is an educational experience hard to duplicate. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with staff athletic trainers, physicians, and student-athletes at C.O.D.
Under supervision, you will learn about every day operations, immediate care, and continual maintenance of the health of our student-athletes. Athletic training student-workers learn to recognize, and treat athletic injuries in addition to being exposed to many opportunities to acquire skills that will be beneficial in all health care fields.
After spending time as an athletic training student-worker our students typically pursue an undergraduate education in athletic training, physical therapy, and other allied health care professions.
C.O.D. sponsors 17 intercollegiate athletic programs and the athletic department has been honored as among the most successful community college athletic programs in the country.
Prior knowledge, experience, or training is not necessary. General knowledge of human anatomy and/or athletic injuries is helpful. First aid and CPR certification are required and will be provided for you.
Facilities
The 1,000 square-foot athletic training Room,
located just off the arena, offers ample space for injury
treatment and rehabilitation.
When the multi-million dollar renovation of the C.O.D. athletic fields and facilities is complete the athletic complex will be one of the finest and comparable to many division I facilities.
Information
Interested students are encouraged to contact
athletic trainers Max Bertman or Natalie Sanderson for more information.
