Athletic Trainers Provide Essential Health Care
March is National Athletic Training Month! Certified Athletic Trainers (ATCs) are essential to health care. As allied health care professionals, Athletic Trainers are experts in the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses.
In our Sports Medicine class here at IVVC, students learn about the path to becoming a Certified Athletic Trainer, where ATCs work, and what their day to day responsibilities are. Many students have gone on to become Athletic Trainers, as well as Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers, and more. I am proud to be a Certified Athletic Trainer, and more proud that I’m able to introduce my students to the profession, and help develop the future of Athletic Training!
