What is an Athletic Trainer?

Athletic training is recognized as an allied health care profession by the American Medical Association. 

A certified athletic trainer (AT) is a highly educated and trained professional who specializes in the prevention, recognition, management, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. An AT works closely with physicians and other health care professionals in the total health care of the athlete. 

Certified athletic trainers are employed in secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional sports, clinics and hospitals, industrial settings, the military, as well as many others settings.
