EXAMINATIONS
Each course in the program has a written take-home exam. We believe that life is an open book exam, and that knowing where to look for the information is more practical than memorizing the information. We encourage networking with other students and using the exam process as a way to begin the collegial relationship between professions.


CASE REPORT
Students are required to submit one case report within six months of completing their classroom work. A detailed format and example will be provided to each student. We encourage students to submit cases that are not complex but are examples of commonly occurring sports injuries. Again, collaboration and networking are encouraged.


INTERNSHIPS

We offer optional internships of 3 days to several weeks call or email for availability
