What is an Athletic Trainer?
Athletic Trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who work with physicians and physical therapists to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical evaluation, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitative exercise for injuries and medical conditions.
Athletic trainers attend professional education programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. This educational process is a combination of clinical fieldwork and classroom base learning. Athletic Trainers work under the direction of a physician as prescribed by state law and are certified by a national board upon passage of a national exam before becoming licensed by the state.
