专业描述

An athletic trainer collaborates with physicians to optimize the activity and participation of patients and clients. Athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, first aid, and rehabilitation of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions. The athletic training major has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) since 1991 and prepares professionals qualified to attend to the athlete, the fitness-conscious jogger, the skilled professional athlete, or anyone engaged in physical activity.
