“Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to optimize
the activity and participation of patients and clients. Athletic training encompasses the
prevention, diagnosis and intervention of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions
involving impairment, functional limitations and disabilities. Athletic Training is recognized
by the American Medical Association (AMA) as a healthcare profession.” (CAATE, 2012)
