Michael Modica

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: I completed my PhD in Kinesiology at York University, where my dissertation focused on concussion reporting among varsity athletes. I also hold a Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health Science and a Graduate Diploma in Neuroscience from York University, and a Bachelor of Health Science in Athletic Therapy from Sheridan College. My research has also examined sex-related differences in visual reaction time and cognitive abilities in athletes with a history of concussion.

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.
