The Athletics Department at Azusa Pacific University is offering an Intern Athletic Trainer position within the Sports Medicine program for the 2023-24 year. Specific sport responsibility is anticipated to be Men's Soccer & Baseball but is subject to change as needed. Traditionally this has been a Graduate Intern position with an associated tuition waiver which is still available if desired, but is not required (continuing education opportunities provided and paid for under the approval of the Head Athletic Trainer if not). If opting to enroll in an APU graduate program it must fit within the time requirement of the position and the Intern must meet application requirements. The most common programs are the M.S. in Physical Education in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, and the M.A. in Leadership in the Department of Leadership and Organizational Psychology.
