They learn risk management and injury prevention, pathology and acute care of injuries and illnesses, nutrition, rehabilitative practices, and more.

• Implement treatment and rehabilitation programs under the supervision of a physician.

• For Athletic Trainers working in a clinical/ambulatory setting: perform a comprehensive health maintenance review, provide an oral report to the physician regarding patient history and chief complaint, scribe documentation of the visit into the medical record by remaining in the exam room with the physician as the patient is treated, review post-visit instructions with the patient, assist with gathering data under the supervision of the physician or nurse, and administer treatments under the direction of the physician.
