Overview

The athletic trainer is a health care professional who renders service or treatment, under the direction of or in collaboration with a physician, in accordance with their education and training, and the state’s statutes, rules and regulations.

As a part of the health care team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

To become an athletic trainer, you must earn an Athletic Training master’s degree or other graduate degree in athletic training from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education such as the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee one, and pass the national Board of Certification exam.
