This session will explore the growing demand for sports medicine and athletic training programs as an emerging Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program of Study. As schools look to expand relevant, high-interest pathways, sports medicine offers a unique opportunity to connect student-athletes and health-focused learners to real-world careers while supporting the overall health and safety of school communities.

Participants will examine strategies for increasing access to certified athletic trainers in schools and how these professionals can play a critical role in both student wellness and program development. The session will also highlight how building a strong sports medicine pathway can enhance school culture, improve injury prevention and response, and provide students with hands-on experiences aligned to healthcare careers.

Aligned to the Health Science Career Cluster, this session will provide actionable ideas for developing partnerships, integrating coursework, and creating sustainable programs that benefit both students and athletic programs. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how investing in sports medicine education can positively impact student outcomes, support athletes, and strengthen career readiness across their schools.
