What is athletic training?

Athletic training is a healthcare profession that specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating muscle and bone injuries and illnesses.

They are often found in schools, colleges, professional sports teams, clinics, and other healthcare settings. Athletic trainers collaborate closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes for their patients.

These competencies ensure athlete safety, promote optimal recovery, and support overall team performance.

Strong communication and time management skills are essential for success in this dynamic and fast-paced environment.
