March is National Athletic Training Month

During March, athletic trainers across America are being recognized for the commitment to helping people prevent injuries and stay healthy and active.

On Saturday, March 8 at the Hurricanes’ men’s basketball game, fans will join the University of Miami in saluting the Canes’ athletic trainers for providing quality health care for UM student-athletes and employees every day.

“I am very fortunate and blessed to be the Director of Athletic Training at the University of Miami,” said Vinny Scavo. “My staff and I are honored to be able to develop relationships and provide student-athletes with the best healthcare and resources possible.”

Athletic trainers are healthcare professionals, highly educated and dedicated to the job at hand. Athletic trainers can be found in high schools and colleges, corporations, professional sports, the military, performing arts and clinics, hospitals and physicians offices.

The University of Miami would like to salute our athletic trainers for providing quality health care for our student-athletes and employees every day.
