University of Pittsburgh student Lindsay Blakney recently achieved a personal and professional goal: working alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Blakney is in her final year of the Accelerated Master of Science in Athletic Training (AT) program within the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS). The accelerated option at Pitt allows students to earn both a Bachelor of Science in rehabilitation science and a Master of Science in athletic training within five years.
All students in the Pitt AT program complete clinical education rotations across on-campus facilities and several off-site affiliated settings to gain practical and hands-on patient care experiences. A rare opportunity is working with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a spot that is only granted to one or two Pitt students per year.
