KIP Athletic Training Students Teach High Schoolers

High schoolers learn about athletic training at Michigan Tech clinic

High school students in the Copper Country had the chance to learn about a new career opportunity on Saturday at Michigan Tech’s athletic training clinic. Not only did they listen to lessons, but they also got some hands on experience.

Athletic training students from Michigan Tech, some of whom are majoring in Exercise Science or Sports and Fitness Management in the Department of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology (KIP), showed high school students what their job is all about at their athletic training clinic on Saturday.
