NEO Athletic Training Program

With the on-going changes within the NATA, Norhteastern Oklahoma A&M College offers the general education and the first two years of athletic training courses for the student athletic trainer interested in transferring to an NATA accredited four-year institution. 

NEO is your first stop in athletic training.  The program is directed by an NATA certified athletic trainer who oversees a student athletic trainer’s clinical study and academic progress to insure the student fulfills the necessary requirements of the transfer program.  Student trainers gain valuable “hands-on” experience in their freshman year, which is a great advantage to them.  The NEO Athletic Training Department is responsible for the medical care of ten men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic teams, consisting of around 250 student-athletes.  Student trainers not only draw on the knowledge of the program director, they benefit from a  close association with a regional medical center, many area physicians, and quality emergency services.
