What Does a Certified Athletic Trainer do?

Certified athletic trainers are medical experts in preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity. Specifically, the athletic trainer specializes in six practice areas or domains:

  • Prevention of athletic injuries
  • Recognition, Evaluation and Assessment
  • Immediate Care
  • Treatment, Rehabilitation and Reconditioning
  • Organization and Administration
  • Professional Development and Responsibility (Continuing Education)

    A certified athletic trainer's day may, for example, include these tasks:

  • Prepare athletes for practice or competition, including taping, bandaging and bracing
  • Evaluate injuries to determine their management and possible referral
  • Develop conditioning programs
  • Implement treatment and rehabilitation programs
