A Certified Athletic Trainer is a sports medicine specialist that works with athletes, of all ages, on assessing sports injuries, acute and chronic, and determining the appropriate plan of action for treatment of these injuries, as well as preventing future injuries. Certified Athletic Trainers are board certified through the BOC and our members of the National Athletic Training Association.
