Who are Athletic Trainers? Certified
athletic trainers (ATCs) are medical experts in preventing,
recognizing, managing and rehabilitating 
injuries
that result from physical activity. Athletic trainers can help you
avoid unnecessary medical treatment and disruption of normal daily
life; if you’re injured, they can get you on the mend and keep you
on the move.
Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association
as an allied health care profession. As part of a complete health care
team, the certified athletic trainer works under the direction of a
licensed physician and in cooperation with other health care
professionals.
To find out more about the athletic training profession, and what
athletic trainers can do, visit the
NATA's (National Athletic Trainers' Association) website.
