Michael Modica, MSc., CAT(C)., ATC

Hello, I'm Michael Modica, the founder of AT Exam Prep. With a deep-rooted passion for athletic therapy and a wealth of experience in sports medicine, I am dedicated to supporting aspiring athletic therapists in their journey to success.

Professional Experience: My journey in athletic therapy spans over a decade, during which I've gained extensive experience in providing personalized injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation services. As the owner of Modica Athletic Therapy, I have honed my skills in designing comprehensive treatment plans and collaborating with clients to optimize their recovery and performance. Through roles with renowned organizations such as the Toronto FC Academy and the Toronto Argonauts Football Club, I've had the privilege of delivering top-notch sports medicine care to elite athletes.

Academic Background: Equipped with a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology and Health Science from York University, I possess a deep understanding of the intricacies of sports medicine and the intersection between neuroscience and athletic therapy. My research endeavors have focused on topics relevant to athletic therapy, including sex-related differences in visual reaction time and cognitive abilities in athletes with a history of concussion. My current doctoral studies have further deepened my understanding of concussions, with a dissertation research focused on varsity athlete concussion reporting in university and collegiate settings.

Teaching Experience: In addition to my clinical and research work, I have a passion for teaching and mentoring the next generation of athletic therapists. Over the past 5 years, I have had the opportunity to share my expertise with students as an Athletic Therapy Undergraduate Course Director and Co-Instructor at York University. From developing comprehensive course material to delivering dynamic lectures and practical sessions, I am committed to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive.

Commitment to Excellence: At AT Exam Prep, I bring together my expertise in sports medicine and my dedication to education to provide high-quality exam preparation resources for athletic therapy students. With a focus on evidence-based practice and a commitment to ongoing professional development, I strive to ensure that our exam prep materials are comprehensive, relevant, and effective.

I am committed to empowering athletic therapy students to excel in their studies and achieve success in their careers. With AT Exam Prep, my goal is to provide students with the tools and resources they need to confidently approach their candidate exams and embark on fulfilling careers as athletic therapists.
