ATC’s usually work under the direction of physicians and provide immediate care

for injuries.

Some of the other occupations that are related to ATC’s are

recreational therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, physician

assistants, and registered nurses.

The minimum qualifications for becoming an ATC are a Bachelor’s Degree,

usually in Kinesiology or Physical Education, from an accredited college or

university and successful passing of a comprehensive, three-part (written, written

simulation, practical) examination proxied by the National Athletic Training

Association (NATA) Board of Certification. This is the entry-level credential and is

required by most employers. Also required to maintain certification, an ATC must

accumulate 75 hours of continuing education and recertification in CPR every

three years.

To help students achieve their degree, the NATA Research and Education

Foundation offers scholarships in three areas:

•

Undergraduate: for college students in their junior year

•

Curriculum: for college students in their junior year of a curriculum program

•

Postgraduate: for college students in their final year of undergraduate

education or graduates of an undergraduate program
