What is an ATC?
Athletic Trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians.
The services provided by ATs comprise prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and
rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
Athletic Trainers are Experts
Working to prevent and treat musculoskeletal injuries and sports-related illnesses, athletic trainers offer a continuum
of care unparalleled in health care. ATs are part of a team of health care professionals – they practice under the
direction of and in collaboration with physicians. ATs work with those individuals who are physically active or
involved in sports participation through all stages of life to prevent, treat and rehabilitate injuries and medical
conditions. Athletic trainers should not be confused with personal trainers or “trainers” who focus solely on fitness
and conditioning. Always refer to an “athletic trainer” or “AT” to ensure clarify of profession and quality of care.
AT’s are educated and professionally prepared for all of the following:
- Evidence-based practice & health promotion
- Prevention measures to ensure highest quality of care
- Clinical examination & diagnosis
- Immediate & acute care of injury and illness,
especially in emergencies
- Treatment, rehabilitation and reconditioning
- Therapeutic intervention
- Psychosocial strategies and referral
- Health care administration
- Ethical and legal practice, cultural competence
- Professionalism &patient-centered approach
Athletic Trainers save lives
ATs are on site to treat acute & chronic injuries. They work with patients to avoid injuries, provide
immediate care, and they rehabilitate patients after injuries or surgery. However we all know that
sports injuries can be serious and sudden. Brain & spinal cord injuries, and conditions such as heat
illness can be life threatening if not recognized & properly treated. Consistent presence and
continuity of care builds trust and allow AT’s to provide the best possible care to our athletes.
