Sports Medicine Internship
In the fall of 2015, Carondelet’s Sports Medicine program partnered with Muir Orthopaedic Specialists to provide our advanced sports medicine students the opportunity to shadow professionals in the sports medicine world.
Student interns work directly with Michelle (Gee) McGallian ’97, who is currently a certified athletic trainer, and the strength and conditioning coaches. She has also provided them with the opportunity to shadow physical therapists and speak to doctors about prevalent issues in the medical field.
