Why Study Sports Medicine

The Foothill College Sports Medicine Program serves a dual purpose:

Our Foothill Sports Medicine Team — comprised of certified athletic trainers, sports medicine students, physicians and other sports medicine professionals — supports our Foothill student-athletes through our Athletic Treatment Center and during home and away games.
The program also provides academic instruction, leading to an associate of science degree in Athletic Injury Care.

Program Mission

Our program mission is to provide the highest level of care possible for our Junior College student-athletes. Through the support of the college, athletics, our coaches and our athletes, we are able to achieve that mission.
