The Committee on Reimbursement also hosted two March Madness events to familiarize high school students and their parents about what an Athletic Trainer is and what they do.

        

 

Student Athletic Trainers from Central State University, Southern Connecticut State University, Sacred Heart University, and University of Connecticut all worked together with members of the COR to demonstrate the six domains of Athletic Training and gave the participants an opportunity to experience and apply the skills of an Athletic Trainer.                                                                           

Certified Athletic Trainers

Certified athletic trainers are recognized by the American Medical Association as allied health care providers. Through an advanced educational background, athletic trainers are able to provide the professional care, early evaluation and treatment of athletic injuries, and proper medical referral. Athletic trainers provide quality health care, and educate athletes in prevention of injuries.

The certified athletic trainer specializes in five domains. These domains have been identified as those necessary to function effectively as a certified athletic trainer.

National Athletic Trainers' Association

  1. Prevention of athletic injuries

  2. Recognition, evaluation and immediate care of athletic injuries.

  3. Rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries

  4. Health care administration

  5. Professional development and responsibility
