ATHLETIC TRAINING SERVICES

ATC's (certified athletic trainer) work under the direction/supervision of a licensed physician to provide health care to athletes. An ATC's role is to prevent injuries, recognize and evaluate injuries, manage and treat injuries, and educate and counsel athletes. An ATC provides on-site evaluation and treatment for an injured athlete, immediate first-aid care, follow-up rehabilatation care, and specific conditioning programs for injury prevention.
