UNLV ATP Preservation EffortsThe University of Nevada, Las Vegas is in jeopardy of losing their athletic training program. No other students can be admitted currently after that classes start date due to the transition of all accredited athletic training programs into Master’s Degree Programs. Please sign and pass along this petition to your peers and to our community.
Please review and sign this form created by UNLV ATEP Alumni Kristen Ross and Yvonna Tapia as another avenue for the preservation efforts of this amazing program. These can be extremely integral in spreading the message to our peers and the public in generating some movement to get program approval. We feel strongly as an organization to promote and support the continuing education of athletic trainers in Nevada. This program has provided our communities with highly educated graduates who are essential to the healthcare framework in our state and should continue to provide for our communities well into the future. |
