What is an entry level AT?

An Entry Level AT usually refers to an Athletic Trainer who is just starting their career, often immediately after earning their degree and obtaining certification. These professionals work under the supervision of experienced athletic trainers or healthcare providers to prevent, diagnose, and treat sports-related injuries. They typically work with athletic teams at schools, colleges, or clinics, and their responsibilities may include assisting with rehabilitation programs, managing first aid, and maintaining medical equipment. Entry level positions provide foundational experience and are a stepping stone to more advanced roles in the field.
