Newman University Athletic Training
Athletic trainers have been recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied health care professional since 1990. Athletic trainers are certified health care professionals who collaborate with physicians and other health care professionals to optimize the participation and activity for patients and clients of all ages and skill levels, including young children, student-athletes, professional athletes, active adults, and military personnel. Athletic trainers provide prevention, examination, treatment, and rehabilitation of acute, subacute, and chronic illnesses and injuries. This commonly includes a wide range of conditions from mild ankle sprains to catastrophic head and neck injuries and mild illnesses to heat stroke.
