The Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) is a highly educated and skilled professional specializing in health care for the physically active and athletic populations. In cooperation with physicians and other allied health personnel, the athletic trainer functions as an integral member of the athletic health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports
medicine clinics, professional sports programs, and other health care settings.
The athletic trainer plays an important role in the health care of the physically active, especially in the prevention, recognition, management, and rehabilitation/reconditioning of injuries incurred as a result of activity. The care provided by an athletic trainer may help the individual avoid unnecessary medical treatment or aid in referral to the appropriate physician.
