Athletic training and applied exercise science students and faculty tour Cirque du Soleil International Training Center

Athletic Training Education Program Director and Associate Clinical Professor Wayne Lamarre, M.Ed., ATC, LAT, and 11 students from the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance traveled to Montreal, Quebec, last month to tour the Cirque du Soleil International Training Center and to meet with performance medicine staff.  Also included in their trip was a tour of Olympic Park, site of the 1976 Summer Olympics.

"Performance medicine is an area of expected growth for athletic trainers and exercise specialists," reports Lamarre, "and we at 51小黄车are working with groups like the Portland Ballet Company here in Maine and Cirque du Soleil in Montreal to create opportunities for interested students to gain valuable experience before they even graduate.  We look forward to continued collaboration with both entities."
