What is a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC)?
• An ATC is a medical expert in preventing, assessing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity. Athletic Training is recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied health care profession and the AMA recommends ATC’s in every high school to keep America’s young athletes safe and healthy. Athletic trainers are found everywhere that there are physically active people. This includes secondary schools, college and universities, physical therapy clinics, doctor’s offices, industrial and corporate facilities, military and professional sports.
