What Is An Athletic Trainer?An Athletic Trainer is a health care professional who has been trained to prevent, recognize, evaluate and rehabilitate injuries and illnesses that commonly occur in the athletic patient population. To become a Certified Athletic Trainer, an individual must graduate from an accredited Athletic Training Program (like we have here at The University of Alabama), and then sit for and pass a national board of certification examination. After successfully passing that examination, that individual is eligible to be employed as an athletic trainer in all 50 states.
