What is Athletic Training?

Athletic training is an allied health profession dedicated to prevention, care, maintenance, and rehabilitation of injuries in physically active people. Athletic trainers work with physicians and other members of the sports medicine team to help injured athletes return safely to their sports. Certification by the Board of Certification is the entry-level credential needed to practice athletic training. Some states also require athletic trainers to be licensed. The mission of our program is to prepare professionals for careers in sports medicine as certified athletic trainers in the context of outstanding liberal arts education.
