What is a Certified Athletic Trainer?

Certified Athletic Trainers (ATCs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

ATCs hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited professional athletic training education program and must pass a comprehensive certification exam to earn their credentials. They are also required to engage in continuing education to stay current with the latest research and techniques in sports medicine.
