Athletic Training

Certified athletic trainers are highly qualified health professionals trained in preventing, evaluating, and rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries. Athletic trainers collaborate with physicians throughout the injury process to ensure safe and efficient return to normal activity. Our athletic training staff members at Northwestern University Health Service are certified by the athletic training Board of Certification (bocatc.org) and are licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. Each of our staff members hold a variety of specialty certifications in different areas of interest including corrective exercise, performance enhancement, and dry needling.
