As hard as humans work, they
often play just as hard — in the athletic arena, from collegiate and
professional sports to various recreational leagues enjoyed by people of all
ages. Athletic trainers are certified health care providers who impart
knowledge and skill to address the many facets of athletic activity, from
preventing, treating, and assessing injuries to facilitating rehabilitation and
return to activity along with counseling on proper nutrition and general health
and wellness. It's much more than taping a sprained ankle or standing on a
sideline at a game. An Athletic Training degree from MTSU offers the skills
needed to pursue this exciting career path. Athletic training degree students
approach preparing for this profession through a holistic integrated health
care/medical model with numerous academic and clinical experiences. The program
is based on the essentials and guidelines of the Commission on Accreditation of
Athletic Training Education (CAATE) of the American Medical Association and the
Board of Certification (BOC). The program has been accredited at the
entry-level since 2002.
Career Path
Athletic trainers can find
careers within a variety of organizations, from professional sports
organizations to corporations interested in employee wellness to hospitals and
rehabilitation clinics. Examples include Administrator, Athletic trainer (high
school, college, or professional settings), Corporate fitness and wellness, Emergency
room sports medicine liaison, Physician extender.
