About
Ricky Morse is an athletic trainer at UK HealthCare as well as at Lincoln County High School.

He later earned his bachelor’s in athletic training from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond and master’s in recreation and sport administration from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. During that time, Morse continued to broaden his experiences with a graduate assistantship and internships where he treated athletes from high school to professional levels. He has been a part of the UK Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine team since 2018.
Personal Statement
I enjoy working with athletes because they are highly motivated and work toward clearly defined goals. Both my personal and family histories have guided and motivated me to become an athletic trainer: With a registered nurse as a mother and a physician’s assistant as an aunt, I have been around healthcare providers for as long as I can remember, and as a former athlete, I was exposed to the concepts of teamwork from a young age. Now as a clinician, I am always learning new ways to help these athletes stay on track and full steam ahead.
