The Presence of a Certified Athletic Trainer Ensures a Safe Environment for Athletic Participation

Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC) are allied health professionals who are experts, particularly in the orthopedic and musculoskeletal disciplines, in:

• Injury prevention
• Assessment
• Treatment
• Rehabilitation

ATCs are also involved in health care administration, nutrition, biomechanics, education, counseling, physiology, psychology, and conditioning to enhance athletic performance.  The ATC works to prevent athletic injuries and cares for the athlete if they occur.
