In honor of National Athletic Training Month, we’re highlighting the voices shaping the future of the profession. On this episode, I’m joined by Mary Nadelen, Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Clinical Education Coordinator for Athletic Training at Towson University in Maryland.
Mary gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to educate and mentor the next generation of athletic trainers. We discuss the evolution of athletic training education, the importance of clinical experiences, the challenges students face entering the profession, and the incredible impact athletic trainers have across healthcare and sport.
Whether you’re a clinician, educator, or student, this conversation shines a light on the people preparing tomorrow’s athletic trainers.
