AT Fellowship in Neurology

The goal of the AT Fellowship program is to produce advanced clinical leaders in the domain of neurology. BU is proud to be a leader in addressing neurological issues through this first-of-its-kind fellowship program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

The path to this outcome is rewarding but challenging. Our Fellows can expect to work hard and within the guidelines put forth by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) over the course of the 21-month program experience.

The experience includes delivering specialized athletic training services in a variety of settings while learning from clinicians with different backgrounds and skill sets.

Fellows will also engage in scholarship through projects and activities that explore the depth and breadth of neurology to improve patient care. Fellows can look forward to delivering presentations, completing scientific writing, executing quality improvement, engaging in self-reflection, and honing their approach to leading and inspiring others.

• Traditional collegiate sports medicine interacting with varsity, club, and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) student-athletes
